Phillip Wildman is a talented singer-songwriter from Dorchester, Texas. His musical influences range from Broadway to Western Swing with a lot of old time country along the way. Because of his wit and catchy melodies, companies have used Wildman and his jingles for advertising and promotion. Wildman is a three-time Top Ten finalist, two-time Top Three finalist, and two-time People’s Choice Award Winner in the Texas Troubadour competition. Phillip has performed with greats such as the Light Crust Doughboys and Jim “Texas Shorty” Chancellor at The Kennedy Center.

Cara Wildman is a highly sought after bodhrán player at the cutting edge of the instrument's modern development.

She has toured with Joanie Madden, Oisin Mac Diarmada's Irish Christmas in America, Máiréad Nesbitt, Outlander in Concert, and more. Cara was the 2021 All-Ireland Fleadhfest champion and has a Masters in Irish Traditional Music Performance from the University of Limerick in Ireland, and two degrees from Texas Christian University in music education.
