This week's menu  we feature an American indie folk rock band from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Wilderado!  The band is Max Rainer (lead singer, guitarist), Tyler Wimpee (guitarist, vocals), Justin Kila (drums), David Arthur Stimson (bass), Jack Malonis (multi-instrumentalist).  First formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2015, Wilderado's Max Rainer and Tyler Wimpee met through mutual friends in college and started writing songs together in their fifth year after most of their friends had left. In the first few years released several EPs and a lot of singles. Those garnered the band thousands of streams and a following. It kept them on the road on a pretty intense touring schedule for several years, sharing bills with bands like alt-J, Mt. Joy and Rainbow Kitten Surprise.  Having released their debut album in 2021, they've achieved a new level of fans and got to perform on CBS's Sunday Morning show in September!
