Dom Wier - Wayward Skies (2019)

Available everywhere February 22nd, 2019, Wayward Skies is the debut full length album from southern Illinois native and Nashville, TN based roots country rock artist Dom Wier. This record is a culmination of Wier’s efforts over the past 10 years, which include more than 1200 shows performed, a thousand songs written and half a million miles traveled on America’s highways and backroads. From the dark corners of the smokiest backwoods bars in the south to noteworthy festival stages, this songwriter and working musician has seen the harsh realities of the music business, the joys of hard won little victories, and along the way put pen to paper.

Produced with Matthew Miller in Nashville, Wayward Skies is for all intensive purposes, a country folk rock record, “Americana” if you wish. The 12 song album features strong guitars, driving rhythms and distinct road worn vocals. After growing up along the Mississippi River near St. Louis and then spending 10 years in Tennessee, Wier has taken influence from elements of rock, country and blues music. This record represents where he is at this moment as an artist in 2019. There are echoes of classic rock and country music heroes on this album.

Acceptance, recklessness, despair, hope, holding on to your loved ones for dear life, death, middle American grit, determination, perseverance, brutal honesty and heart. You’ll find it all across Wayward Skies, available everywhere February 22nd, 2019.
