<The Wildcards> Release Sweet Child O’ Mine Cover 7/1/22
“The Wildcards” is a country duo out of Nashville, TN that features Ashley Gearing’s powerhouse vocals and rhythmic acoustic guitar…. alongside Andrea Young’s dynamic violin playing & angelic voice. Together the pair creates one unique voice in harmony and an unforgettable, high energy show.
Ashley & Andrea have been playing together and touring across the world with various projects and are thrilled to have creatively collided with The Wildcards. With support from American Songwriter & CMT for their “Bar Room Sessions” collection, The Wildcards are excited to release the next installment: “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” a fan chosen cover of the Guns N’ Roses classic.
Recorded at Young’s Sonic Pomegranate Studios, this track is produced and performed by The Wildcards. The pair chose from the fan requests because of its soaring vocals and intricate instrumental lines. Ashley takes on the lead vocal with a clear, powerful mastery that showcases her dynamic range. Andrea follows along effortlessly with her sweet, smooth harmony and lead violin. Notably, this is the first release where Andrea plays all of the instruments as well as handling the engineering. This track joins “Light On,” “Pour The Wine,” “Drink 2,” and “Can’t Help Who You Love” as the fifth song in “The Bar Room Sessions.”
“One of our favorite things to do as creators is to put our own spin on unexpected but classic music. This is a song that everyone recognizes from the intro and can sing along with until the last chord. It was fun to do it “Wildcards Style.” ~The Wildcards
