Wishgarden

Wishgarden is a lively seven-piece band of accomplished musicians and killer vocalists who craft original tunes blending soulful roots-rock, folk, and pop with a nostalgic nod to early Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens, Jimmy Buffett, and The Mamas & The Papas—think groovy vibes when livin' was easy. Their infectious, free-spirited energy packs shows with foot-stomping rhythms, electric guitar riffs, flute, sax, trombone, and djembe flair, all wrapped in crystal-clear stories and vibrant harmonies that get everyone dancing.

Fronted by Tony Paparella and featuring axe-slinger Mike Lenz, they also shine in acoustic duo sets that keep the effervescent groove alive with fan faves like "She Was Dreaming," "In Fifty Years" (an award-winning video snagging Best Music Video at NY Film Awards and a Gold from International Independent Film Awards), and "Our Rivers." Active with albums like *On Your Way* (2020) and a fresh 2025 sizzle reel, Wishgarden's all about that neo-traditional feel-good transcendence.
