WANDA WILSON (Photo Credit: Daryl Malone)

With grassroots from Northern Manitoba, waNda is a self-taught guitarist with a do-it-yourself approach to her work. waNda composes material that embodies strength, pain and ultimate identity, but defies definition. Musically, her sound is edgy and bold, a hint of folk-rock sprinkled with a smidgeon of garden-punk.

waNda wilsoN’s new CD, “Under Donald” is a raw, “beautifully imperfect”, self-produced project. The recording began under the Donald Street Bridge and continued in a variety of live situations, using battery-operated gear to capture the downtown underground sound. It was a unique musical collaboration that connected and came together live.

"... it's a hard hitting earthy blend of angst & philosophical bitterness juxtaposed against a sweet lyrical softness."
Rob Lindsay, Article in the Opasquia Times, 2008

"Be prepared to laugh and cry at the same time. For me, waNda wilsoN's lyrics are as reminiscent and as powerful as Dylan's."
Veronica Johnny (The Johnnys), 2007

"I dig the rawness of her tracks. Imperfections are more beautiful..."
Somer (Brooklyn), 2007
