Wilder Woods is the solo project of Bear Rinehart, known widely as the frontman of the Grammy-nominated band NEEDTOBREATHE. Venturing into a fresh musical territory with his self-titled debut in 2019, Wilder Woods presents an evocative mix of soul, R&B, and rock with hints of classic influences yet anchored in a modern sound. His stage name, inspired by the names of his two sons Wilder and Woods, reflects a personal and introspective approach to his music.

Characterized by a deeply soulful voice and introspective lyricism, Wilder Woods has quickly garnered attention with tracks like "Sure Ain’t," "Someday Soon," and "Supply & Demand." With his recent releases such as the visceral "FEVER / SKY," the reflective "the work tapes ep," and powerful tracks like "Maestro (Tears Don't Lie)," plus stripped sessions that showcase his vocal prowess and songwriting depth, he continues to push the boundaries of his varied musical style. Through both his solo work and contributions with NEEDTOBREATHE, Rinehart's evocative storytelling and commitment to authenticity shine through, resonating with fans across genres and generations.
