E. Christina Herr leads the band ~ Wild Frontier ~ through the rugged Western Gothic Landscape. Her eye on the Horizon ever searching the Constant Beauty of the Sky for signs of an approaching Storm or a fleeting Oasis. Inspired by the old Souls of Trees, Ancient Minerals & Bodies of Water ~ Telling Stories of the New/Old Frontier.
Blending Americana ~ Alt Country ~ Folk and Rock 'n Roll ~ to create Songs of Lonesome Roads, Devil Winds, alluring Rivers, startling Rock Formations and the Romance of Decaying Buildings & Graveyards. At first listen many of the Songs sound like gentle Lullabies ~ listen to the words and find Cautionary Tales. Playful Melodies mask dark Mysteries revealing an emotional forecast within each song's Borders.
From the pure simplicity of two Vintage Acoustic Guitars to the full blown dynamics of a 5 Piece Rock Band. Christina & the members of Wild Frontier live near the red waters of the Rio Grande in New Mexico. Cottonwood trees perched with Bald Eagles watching thier nests. Walking the Petrogylph Mesas In the Land of Enchantment.
