Wild Child & Friends

When Kelsey Wilson and Alexander Beggins regrouped Wild Child last year, they weren’t sure exactly what to expect. The response to 2023’s End of the World – and subsequent successful reunion tour – inspired a creative rebirth of the band though, with Wilson’s powerful vocals leading the pair’s effortless harmonies through their songs of fraught relationships and complicated loves. Their two-night hometown stand at Scoot Inn unwinds their entire catalog, with night one digging into early favorites and Saturday slinging cuts since 2018. Skylar Rose Wilson and Buffalo Hunt open Friday, and Motenko and Matthew Logan Vasquez set up Saturday. – Doug Freeman
