Wanda Wesolowski is a queer southern songwriter and frontwoman of The Wanda Band, known for crafting music that blends confessional lyricism with contagious groove. Hailing from Huntsville, Alabama and signed to Single Lock Records, Wanda’s songs explore the spectrum of queer joy, grief, and rebirth—infused with her knack for melody, wit, and raw feeling.
Her 2023 album Only Feeling, produced by Jay Burgess of The Pollies, was recorded mostly live in just two days and delivers danceable heartache and cathartic hooks in equal measure. Whether she’s singing about longing, loss, or desire, Wanda has a way of making audiences feel seen. Her live shows—performed in matching band coveralls—are part listening room, part indie-rock revival, with fans singing every word and dancing without shame.
Wanda has performed at major festivals including ShoalsFest, Panoply, Sluice Fest, and Bonnaroo, and most recently opened for Alabama Shakes during their highly anticipated reunion show—their first performance in seven years. With a growing catalog of acclaimed releases, including 2020’s One-Hit and 2023’s Only Feeling, she’s cementing herself as one of Alabama’s most magnetic and emotionally honest voices.
