Violet Wilder

Three music nerds who became best friends & an indie-folk trio. Our compositions incorporate piano, viola, acoustic & electric guitar, miscellaneous percussion, and (last but NOT least) sumptuous 3-part harmony. Sometimes we write unconventional melodies & harmonies, and we think that keeps music interesting. Have a listen – we hope you enjoy our sound.

We chose our name as a tribute to our WI roots – the Wisconsin state flower is the violet, and the color violet represents dreams and imagination. “Wilder” refers to an adventurous explorer living off of the beaten path, AND one of our trio happens to be related to the famous Laura Ingles Wilder (Little House on the Prairie) who was also born in Wisconsin.
