Empire Wild - virtual 

Empire Wild grew out of their love for musical exploration. Together they’ve poured a love of pop, folk, fiddle, J-pop, rock, Broadway, EDM, American songbook, and so much more into their own song writing and composition. Trying to figure out how to fuse these influences with their classical background is part of the fun.

Empire Wild is Ken Kubota, Brandon Ilaw, and Mitch Lyon. 

Ken and Mitch bring all the cello has to offer – bowed, plucked, chopped or... and Brandon plays anything he can get his hands on – often a cajon, sometimes a guitar or piano, maybe some ankle bells.
