Wishgarden
Wishgarden is a Northeast Ohio indie rock band that connects with audiences through feel-good rock & americana music genres. They apply their own upbeat vibe to their original songs and updated versions of the music of Van Morrison, Johnny Cash, Jimmy Buffet, John Prine, Beatles, Neil Diamond and Cat Stevens, among others. Originals written by band member and singer-song writer Tony Paparella range from soulful ballads to funky-blues about life, love, frantic family vacations and finding one’s place in the universe. Heart-grabbing and joyful lead vocals blend with harmonies on top of electric guitar, acoustic guitar, harmonica, sax, trombone, flute, bass and drums — and expect some soul bending jam-band style leads woven throughout a performance. Our audiences dance, sing along, hum along, groove along — but above all, meld with the vibe and go wherever our music takes them.
