Empire Wild Holiday Concert at Bickford Theatre at the Morris Museum

Empire Wild blew audiences away with their Morris Museum debut on The Back Deck this past June, now they return inside the Bickford Theatre for a holiday concert that puts a fresh twist on familiar favorites. They are a genre-bending, crossover trio founded by Ken Kubota, Brandon Ilaw, and Mitch Lyon. Ken and Mitch bring all the cello has to offer bowed, plucked, chopped and more. Brandon can be found singing and playing anything he can get his hands on often a cajon, sometimes a guitar or piano, maybe some ankle bells. All classically trained, the three musicians met at Juilliard and formed Empire Wild as a vehicle for their love of musical exploration fusing the sounds of pop, folk, Broadway and more into their songwriting and composition.
