Melissa, Jayna, and Kimberly met while attending UW-Parkside and discovered that they shared a love for music. After evenings spent together watching Disney musicals and drinking whiskey, these talented ladies began to harmonize both their voices and their friendship. They began to take the stage at open mics at Sazzy B’s and on the UW-P campus, leading to the formation of their alt-folk rock band Violet Wilder. They perform in many different variations, from a cappella performances like singing the national anthem at local events, to taking the stage as a three-piece, or performing as a five-piece, with Andrew, Zach, Dave, or Justin on bass and percussion for a full band sound. Violet Wilder are creatives who are a bit off the beaten path, they take their music in new and interesting ways. You can listen to their full-length album “For the Record” anywhere and everywhere you can stream music and if you like what you hear, you can purchase their CD and a T-shirt you can wear when you see them take the stage this summer throughout the area.
