Wicked Man

Wicked Man is an indie-soul-pop outfit hailing from Oakland, CA. They blend pop melodies, haunting lyrics, and a kaleidoscopic array of highlife and afro-beat inspired rhythms that keep listeners moving. As provocative genre-boundary pushers, Wicked Man’s sound is stunningly new and refreshing, while always remaining catchy and relatable. Each song leads the listener on an unexpected and seductive journey full of twists and turns, ranging from the thinnest texture of fingerpicking guitar and vocal harmonies to their heavy soundscapes elevated by colorful layers of keyboard sounds and jazzy hip-hop beats. Wicked Man has packed historic bay area venues like the Great American Music Hall and the Independent, and having toured the west coast of the U.S. and Canada extensively for the past 3 years they have an increasingly strong following in Southern California and the Pacific Northwest. Their 2015 EP Terranean Tremors speaks to the powerful and profound vision found within this unique genre of electronic rock, jazz and indie-folk pop. Wicked Man looks to further expand and refine their sound with their debut self-titled LP expected to drop in the Spring of 2018.
