Matt Wilson & his Orchestra

It’s not an orchestra, but it’s also not bluegrass. This Minneapolis band — banjo, harp, guitar and bass — produces lush and dreamy folk-pop, with plaintive vocal harmonies and addictive percussive qualities. Singer-songwriter-guitarist Wilson is joined by Quillan Roe of the Roe Family Singers on banjo, Jacques Wait on bass guitar, and harpist Phala Tracy. They’re touring in support of the album When I Was a Writer, which was released just as the pandemic hit.
