[DID NOT ATTEND: September 16, 2026] Jade Bird / The Carlile Family Band
I’ve like Jade Bird for a while–never enough to get really into her, although the last few years I’ve been enjoying her more and more. She has an incredible voice and live, she is really quirky and silly. We heard her sing while at the Newport Folk Festival (we were going to another show while she was on). And I got to see her do a Free at Noon. But she was a little under the weather and didn’t play the song where she really belts out the vocals.
I would very much like to see her do a full set (and Wonder Bar is so small she might not have even needed a microphone), but this was the same night as Garbage, so Jade Bird will have to wait.
The Carlile Family Band is a family band from a tiny, rural Washington town called Curlew. We perform a mix of Folk, Americana, and Indie sounds across nine instruments from box drums to banjos. We thrive on bending genre and having fun while doing it. We also write, record and produce our own music, often from the backseat of a our motorhome while we’re on the road. With shows filled with comedy and family harmonies, we invite you to come along! There’s always a new song or story we are just waiting to share.
They sound like a hoot and seem perfectly matched for Jade Bird’s quirkiness.
