   About Wild Blooms
Carol Turner, and Kevin Johnson, are Wild Blooms. Their passionate and decidedly original sound was cultivated in the thriving and prolific music scene of Austin Tx. They scored smash commercial and critical successes with their first two projects, The Lones, and the indie phenomenon Panic Choir.

Amid cries of "the next big thing" , Turner and Johnson lead Panic Choir out on the road. An RV stuffed with the band a and a small crew carried this fiery quintet around the U.S., playing 250-280 shows per year for a large part of the 90's. This intense work ethic put a fine edge on the band and earned them coveted opening slots on tour dates with bands like The Dave Matthews Band, Blues Traveler, Jeff Buckley, Colonel Bruce Hampton, Hootie and the Blowfish, Rob Wasserman, John Wesley Harding, Timbuck 3, Cake, Soul Coughing, Big Head Todd and the Monsters, Deep Blue Something, Jimmy LaFave, Joe Ely and many, many more.

Just when everything was looking perfect (huge crowds, label interest, a slot on the Lilith Fair) the band did the unthinkable and announced a hiatus from touring, pointing to road "burn out" and a desire to spend time in the studio. They never reformed.

Carol Turner and Kevin Johnson next turned their attention to Wild Blooms releasing the self-titled "Wild Blooms" in 2003 ( on the fledgling indie label Euro-America Records) a "sparkling" mostly acoustic offering, highlighting distinctive songwriting and soaring vocals. In 2005 they released "Modified Additive", which saw them collaborating again with other Austin artists, exploring new sounds via samples, sequences, and programming.

This year Wild Blooms released "Dear Delirium". With this newest release, Wild Blooms entice the listener into their swirling, and heady world. Dear Delirium can be like reading a private letter or overhearing a secret conversation, allowing us to become the voyeur as Wild Blooms experiment, and explore, writing love letters to their muse. Fusing modern electronica with their acoustic, singer songwriter roots has placed Wild Blooms decidedly outside the "comfort zone" they had established with their earlier success. Growing is what Wild Blooms do. Challenging themselves stylistically, will likely not be a challenge for their long time fans, who relish kind of edge this duo leads them along.

"With their haunting lyrics and edgy sounds, Wild Blooms deliver a powerful and timely statement of consciousness through their electronic pop music. This band is carving a path through the world of brave new music, melding the highest thought with their special brand of raw energy. Keyword: beyond cool!"
Carmen Allgood – The Indie Wave.com


"I have trouble classifying Wild Blooms - and that's great! They continue to carve new directions in music while grounding it in emotions we can all relate to...you've gotta check them out!"
Scott Matthews - Operations Manager/Program Director - American General Media/KPTE "The Point"
