Read The Wildcards reviews below...
"The Wildcards opened this year's Ashburton Blues Festival and people who'd never seen them before were absolutely knocked out by their music and stage presence. The Wildcards front man, guitarist and singer Vince Lee, is an astounding performer. He puts out enough energy to light a small town!".
Ashburton Blues Festival, UK
Those of you that saw and heard this stupendous band at the Ashburton Blues Festival will know how truly incredible their mixture of Rockabilly, Blues, Jazz, South American, Rhumba, and pure Voodoo is.
Frontman Vince Lee is one of the most electrifying performers around. He blew the audience away in the Town Hall
Michael Cranmer - Ashburton Blues Festival
“Holy Explosion! The Wildcards of Britain have such a deal in their hands, that even most hardboiled gambler on the other side of the table would be scared: two first-class guitarists, rhythm section tight as a hell, singer capable for full range of expression and bunch of original songs full of addictive hooks.”
