The Wilhelm Brothers – Folk Rock with Cello Infusion.
There was chemistry and musical sparks flying when The Wilhelm Brothers Chris Wilhelm (guitar/lead vocals) and Cristof Ensslin (cello/vocal harmonies/tambourine) hit off their first note together at a recording session for Trail Of The Lonesome Pine in early 2012. Since then, they have been sharing the same dream: to play for crowds of 10,000 and more. All their energy is focused on this vision, playing over 200 shows per year, which they did in both 2013 + 2014.
Highlights on their journey so far are recording their debut EP Lay Your Burden Down (2013) and upcoming full-length CD The Sea of the Unwritten (digital release April 2015, CD release planned for June 2015) with Henry Hirsch (most acclaimed for his work with Lenny Kravitz, Madonna and Vanessa Paradis) and Rachel Alina (credits include Pink, Katy Perry, Stephen Marley), releasing live CD Like a Bird in 2014, opening for Pearl And The Beard (as trio Wilhelm McKay), and receiving radio airplay including getting their own Pandora Radio channel.
