UK Blues Awards Instrumentalist of the Year Will Wilde Releases Video For “Stole My Love”
Following his recent win as Instrumentalist of the Year at this year’s UK Blues Awards, Wilde releases the official video for “Stole My Love,” a standout track from his chart-topping album Blues Is Still Alive, which was released last year via VizzTone Label Group.
Will says “‘Stole My Love’ is one of my favourite tracks from the record to play live. It’s an intense slow blues about being cheated on, something that I think a lot of people can relate to.”
Renowned for his powerful and expressive harmonica playing, Wilde continues to push the boundaries of blues rock. The album serves as a bold tribute to the harmonica’s vital role in blues music, with his dynamic and electrifying style cementing his status as one of the genre’s most exciting rising artists, now further recognised with his Instrumentalist of the Year award.
Will comments:
“I was very honoured to be awarded ‘Instrumentalist Of The Year’ at the UK Blues Awards. I want to thank everyone who voted for me. I’ve dedicated pretty much my whole adult life to playing blues harmonica, so to be recognised for it in this way means a lot to me. I’m now looking forward to heading back out on tour with my band across the UK and Europe, starting this Saturday at The Civic in Trowbridge.”
Will recently announced he’ll be opening for Eric Clapton at Sandringham Estate on 23rd August, marking the biggest show of his career to date.
