Magic moments on East FM, Saturday from 3pm...
We’re going Wilde, Wilde, West! Faith Wilde, whose roots are East Auckland, has had an incredible moment in the US, and her Dad, Jesse Wilde, shares his “proud father moment” as both music artists feature on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right Show, 3pm to 7pm (NZ time, August 19) on East FM.
Jesse Wilde’s a great bro, friend of East FM, excellent songwriter, producer and performer, and even better storyteller, and willingly helped us in recent years recording and co-producing Tony King’s community protest song, Stock Aid – Standing on Stockade Hill. He and wife Cath Vincent run the cool Wilde Records Recordings Studios. She’s also had her own TV show.
Jesse says: “My 21-year-old daughter Faith Wilde just rocked an audience of 24,000 people at The Hinterland Country Music Festival in Saint Charles, Iowa, on August 6. It's just like the scene from the movie A Star is Born but in real life.”
We’ll be talking live with Jesse Wilde at 3.15pm on She’ll Be Right on Saturday. He is the king of Kiwi Americana country-rock.
“Faith got up on stage with country music legend Noah Kahan in front of 24,000 and sung a verse she wrote as the female response to his song Dial Drunk. Faith's female perspective response version of this song is getting a large following on TikTok. This is how Noah knew of her. After he saw a sign she held up in the audience, he asked her up on stage to perform with him.”
Yes, wow! A big moment for a 21-year-old Kiwi in the middle of America.
Jesse says: “At the end of their performance, Noah said, 'I think her verse might be better than mine'. What a legend he is for saying this. Faith introduces herself as soon as they hand her a microphone saying, 'I'm from New Zealand'.
“She's only been in the USA for less than two months on a one-year university student working visa. Before this stadium show, she had only ever performed a few bar gigs with her NZ band Good Night Faith, and a few gigs with my band The Jesse Wilde Band, and a few in our father-daughter duo Wilde Faith.
“As a father, all I ever wanted for her is to live her dreams and she's doing it! She's an amazing songwriter. I own a professional recording studio, Wilde Records Recording Studios, in the heart of the Auckland CBD, and I'm working on finishing Faith Wilde's debut album as we speak.”
We’ll also be sharing the good news about events involving Hello Sailor at Groove in the Grapes (Turanga Creek), upcoming concerts for Sam Ford, Trudi Green and the Soulahula Band, and Albi and the Wolves, The Feelers, Tim Finn, Eastern Districts Country Music Club, and Tami Neilson and Dinah Lee.
East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And tomorrow, we’re going Wilde, Wilde West. – PJ
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
