Today, singer/songwriter Bear Rinehart, aka Wilder Woods, announces his latest track, the heartfelt, soulful “Get it Back” from his sophomore album FEVER / SKY out March 24 (Dualtone Records). “Get it Back” showcases Rinehart’s songwriting prowess as he offers his sincere take on love and longing. About the track, Rinehart notes, “Thankful to have another piece of the puzzle from FEVER / SKY out today. The more I understand about love, the more I’m reminded of how powerful and painful it is at the same time.” Listen to “Get it Back” via DSPs and pre-order FEVER / SKY HERE.
The first album track “Maestro (Tears Don’t Lie)” has been getting amazing feedback from fans and the industry alike. The song was one of the most added tracks at Triple A radio with airplay at over 40 stations and a pending Media base chart debut. Wilder Woods also graced the cover of Spotify’s Fresh Folk playlist and “Maestro” was added to Spotify’s flagship New Music Friday, The New Alt, and Grade A, in addition to Apple Music’s Wax Eclectic and Amazon’s Fresh Folk & Americana.
On FEVER / SKY, Bear Rinehart (also known as the frontman for Grammy-nominated, chart-topping band NEEDTOBREATHE) explores a different creative outlet outside of the larger group dynamic. Wilder Woods offers Rinehart the opportunity to experiment and grow with different sounds, styles and textures, while also embracing new challenges along the way. He shares, "I'm giving myself the freedom to do what I want to do and say what I want to say. This isn't the kind of journey where I'm worried about the places I'm headed or the places I've left; it's a journey where I'm just happy to be in the car, driving forward."
Rinehart’s 2019 solo debut Wilder Woods was well received by the press upon its release in 2019, with coverage on NPR, and in People, USA Today, Parade and many more. Wilder Woods performed tracks from his debut on The Today Show and CBS Saturday Morning as well.
