The band

Five players, three singers, one fiddle

Wise Giants covers fifty years of songs, from "Into the Mystic" and "Solsbury Hill" to Tyler Childers and Noah Kahan. Charlie, Becky and Josh trade lead vocals, so the night never sits in one voice for long, and Becky's fiddle turns "Wagon Wheel" and "The Devil Went Down to Georgia" into the moments people film.

  • Charlie YoheVocals, guitar
  • Becky TrayersViolin, vocals
  • Josh WitmerBass, vocals
  • Chris WalkerKeys
  • Josh WilkersonDrums
