Wild & Co.

FREE SHOW IN THE BIERGARTEN // FIRST COME - FIRST SERVED SEATING // NO TICKETS, RESERVATIONS OR RSVP NEEDED W+Co. was born from the creative partnership of lead singer/guitarist John Torres and bassist Ian Tait, two longtime friends united by a shared love of roots-inspired indie rock. Their musical bond, forged over years of collaboration and conversation, blends heartfelt songwriting with a deep appreciation for classic Americana and modern alternative sounds. In 2022, the duo entered Tarquin Studios with drummer and producer Kurt Leon, whose intuitive approach and rhythmic sensibility helped shape the band’s early sonic identity. Together, they began crafting songs that echo the textured beauty of artists like Sufjan Stevens, My Morning Jacket, and The War on Drugs—fusing layered instrumentation with lyrical introspection. As the vision expanded, so did the band. W+Co. soon welcomed Gianni Leito on lead guitar, RĀNE on vocals, & guitar, and Itamar Gov-Ari on keyboards. With this dynamic and seasoned lineup, the band found its voice—a rich, collaborative sound marked by deep chemistry, emotional depth, and a shared commitment to musical exploration.
