About
ABOUT THE WIYOS:
The Wiyos take their name from the toughest gang to prowl the streets of old New York (The Why'os, circa 1890). They have toured extensively in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, France and the Netherlands, building an international audience.
In 2009, The Wiyos were chosen by Bob Dylan to tour for seven weeks as the opener for the Bob Dylan Show, with Willie Nelson and John Mellencamp. Their 2009 release, "Broken Land Bell", stayed in the top 20 of the AMA charts for 14 weeks. They were also featured in the BBC television documentary, "Folk America - Hollerers, Stompers and Old-Time Ramblers".
The Wiyos have emerged as a hallmark band in the resurgence of traditional American music over the past decade and their unique sound and appeal transcends age groups and musical boundaries.
