Triumph of the Wild

Triumph of the Wild is a two person show with a big sound and a entertaining vibe. We have a set of covers from Janis to The Band and two albums of originals. We are seasoned musicians that have played two US tours with gigs up to 3 1/2 hours playing time. For fans of folk, blues and classic rock we can deliver a show that will keep you tapping your feet.

Triumph of the Wild’s set up can only be described as what the duo calls a "one woman and one man band". Highlighting the twin harmonies of Christy Barrett and Ryan Schilling, the duo manage to produce an impressively rich and full sound that is hard to corner to a specific genre. They both share an great appreciation for American roots music taking influence from a variety of folk, blues and rock n' roll musicians. Ryan Schilling mans the kick, harp, guitar, and back-up vocals while Christy Barrett handles percussion, the kazoo, and lead vocals with a “powerhouse voice that goes from whiskey soaked wail to honey tones in a note.” – San Diego Troubadour (link hidden)

Fueled by a five month trip in late 2013 with stops including Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, and Tennessee, Triumph of the Wild found inspiration by immersing themselves in American musical history and culture, connecting with local talent, and honing their performances at every opportunity. Their return to San Diego was marked by festivals, shows, television appearances and two San Diego Music Award nominations culminating with a win for Best Local Recording. Closing the year, Triumph of the Wild finished writing a new record titled "We Come With The Dust" which the duo was able to fully fund with a successful Kickstarter by the support of their fans. The albums single was premiered on Country Music Televisions Edge website in March and the recent released album is being met with positive reviews. The two spend as much time on the road as you will see them at home finding that the American troubadour life style nurtures their creativity.

We can play an acoustic set or a full set with electric guitar.
