King Wilderness

King Wilderness, the dreamy-garage-pop project led by Adam Walton, was started in the fall of 2014 as a joke.
Sort of.

Adam had spent his college years fronting North Carolina folk band Troubel. After relocating to Nashville with his wife and daughter in 2015, he began writing songs that combined the energy of his younger days with the songwriting learned during his formative years. The expression of these songs comes in the form of King Wilderness.

Adam in his own words: “King Wilderness is a vehicle to process the tension between the life I live, and the life I dream of. The reality is, life looks pretty mundane most of the time. Wake up, work, sleep, repeat. There are always good things about it, but it’s also not where we hope to remain for the next 30 years. This is the main question I wrestled with in the songs and sounds of King Wilderness. It’s a quest for more – and an invitation to dream of living the amazing life we were designed for.”
