The Arcadian Wild is an American folk and progressive bluegrass ensemble known for their rich harmonization, thought-provoking lyrics, and dynamic musical arrangements. Since their formation in 2013, the band has navigated a subtle evolution of sound, allowing them to straddle the intersection of folk tradition and a whimsical, yet rooted, musical sophistication. Spearheaded by songwriters Isaac Horn (guitar) and Lincoln Mick (mandolin), and with the addition of Machaela Nesler (fiddle), The Arcadian Wild confidently inhabits and explores an intersection of genre, blending the traditional with the contemporary.

Their catalogue of music, including recent releases such as "Welcome," "Shoulders," and "Lara," showcases their commitment to storytelling and vocal harmony. Whether it's through the anthemic ebullience of "Yurgen's Tune," from a TV series feature, or the intimate reflection in "Barefoot Kid," The Arcadian Wild invites listeners to partake in their journey of human experience, wrapped in a tapestry of acoustic instrumentation. Their reimaginings of popular songs like "Crazy in Love" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" display a creative flexibility that appeals to a wide audience while affirming their roots in the fertile ground of folk music. With each release, from the contemplative "Principium" to the seasonal reflections in "Winter: Will" and "Fall: War," The Arcadian Wild continues to hone a unique identity within the modern musical landscape.
