Wild Child

Alexander Beggins and Kelsey Wilson are co-songwriters, lead vocalists, and the core duo of Wild Child, who are “lucky to call Austin [their] hometown.” In addition to violin, (Kelsey) and ukulele (Alexander), the band also includes Evan Magers, Sadie Wolfe, and Matt Bradshaw, who make up their full, energetic, genre-defying sound. Their outlook on the Austin’s music scene is positive: “Everyone wants each other to succeed and is willing to help in any way possible,” they tell us.
