Listening Party

Listening Party is a Milwaukee-based folk-rock Americana band that has been evolving over the past decade. Founded by Jacob Wood and Weston Mueller, the group has experienced changes in both sound and lineup, transitioning from a trio to a duo. Their music is deeply rooted in roots music, drawing inspiration from artists like John Prine, Bob Dylan, The Lumineers, and The Avett Brothers. Recent releases include their fourth album, *Been a Long Time Comin’*, which showcases their ability to craft songs that resonate with listeners. The band's sound is characterized by soulful harmonies, powerful piano, and a howling harmonica, often blending folk and Americana traditions with contemporary charm.

Listening Party's live performances are versatile, sometimes featuring just the duo and other times expanding to a full band with additional musicians. Their recent singles, such as "It Ain't So Bad" and "Same Ol' Problems," highlight their ability to create anthemic folk-rockers while maintaining an intimate storytelling style. The band continues to focus on writing and rehearsing, aiming to enhance their live performances and release new music in the future.
