about
The Wandering Hearts are a London based alt-country/folk Americana group formed in 2015. The group consists of Tara Wilcox (vocals), A.J. Dean (vocals, acoustic guitar), Tim Prottey-Jones (vocals, acoustic guitar), and Francesca "Chess" Whiffin (vocals, mandolin). The Wandering Hearts have released one studio album: Wild Silence (February 9, 2018). This album includes songs such as Wish I Could, Devil, and Burning Bridges. The Wandering Hearts' genesis arose in late 2015 when Tara Wilcox and Tim Prottey-Jones met at a gig they were both separately performing at. Between the two, there was immense experience in the field, with Prottey-Jones having worked extensively as a multi-instrumental session musician and in musical theatre, and Wilcox having years of singing experience as well as her own singing school. Shortly after meeting, Prottey-Jones and Wilcox were put in touch and introduced by mutual friends to A.J. Dean, a singer/guitarist who was a former member of the U.K. rock band the Bluejays; and Chess Whiffin, who is also a former musical theatre performer. Having first rehearsed a song written by Prottey-Jones at his apartment, the group immediately hit it off. Initially calling themselves the Paper hearts, they recorded two demos titled: Today Is Ours and Sunshine. Both were uploaded to SoundCloud and received a quick response of interest. Within a few weeks, they auditioned for Decca Records who signed them on the spot. The group, now renamed to The Wandering Heart
