About Violet Wild
Violet Wild is an acoustic rock singer-songwriter in northern Colorado. Where the prairie meets the mountains ... like certainty running up against mystery.
With her earthy vocals, percussive acoustic guitar, and restless energy, Violet’s style evokes both Alanis Morissette and Joni Mitchell. She learned harmony from Simon & Garfunkel as a child, and played bass lines from the Animals on the sousaphone in marching band. She spent a lot of years with her creative soul in a cryogenic coma, but since 2017 she’s been performing with cover bands in the live music scene along the Front Range.
She formed the Violet Wild Collective in 2021, gathering musicians from the grunge side of Americana. They still cover a wide range of the pop and rock that shaped Gen-Xers, but more and more in Violet Wild's high-desert neo-folk sound. The Violet Wild Duo includes Rob Myers on bass and vocals.
Violet’s debut single Steal My Body came out October 27, 2023, a collaboration with Austria-based guitarist and producer Joost Scheltes. It traces the lore surrounding Gram Parsons’ death in Joshua Tree. It is about love, but also the sacredness of friendship, bonfires in the desert, and the places we go when we are in need.
