Session tracks

Session tracks
The Wandering Hearts are band that has had one of the quickest rises to fame in the industry.

They formed just three years ago in Tim鈥檚 home; during their second session they uploaded a rough recording to SoundCloud and within 30 minutes they had a manager who landed them a record deal with Decca.

Tim, who's originally from Worcester, has gone on to star in Once and Kinky Boots on London's West End.

The Wandering Hearts听have since been making waves online and on tour with country music legend Marty Stuart in the UK, won the Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award and warmed up the crowd at Hyde Park鈥檚 Summer Festival before Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks graced the stage. And that鈥檚 not to mention performing on 主播大秀 Radio 2 for听Jools Holland听and Bob Harris!

The band has, most recently, become the first-ever group to make their U.S. debut at Nashville鈥檚 prestigious Grand Ole Opry and The Ryman in the same week. They also performed at the famous Bluebird Caf茅 and Elvis Presley鈥檚 Graceland.
