Crafting a Country Symphony of Heartbreak & Hope

Welcome to the world of Wails, where every chord and lyric coalesce into a symphony of heartbreak and hope. Drawing inspiration from the soulful resonance of The Avett Brothers and the timeless allure of old-time country & bluegrass, Wails embarks on a musical journey that resonates deep within the core of human emotion.


Formed in 2024 by Australian-born Miles Szanto and Lex Ulibarri, and featuring Jacob Ungerlieder & Sam Rocha on banjo and upright bass retrospectively, Wails delivers performances that transcend mere music—they are experiences that stir the soul. Onstage, the band's presence is magnetic, blending heartfelt melodies with genuine camaraderie, ecstatic joy and a palpable love for their craft.
With each strum of the guitar and every haunting note of the banjo, Wails invites audiences to embark on an introspective journey. Their decidedly Gothic music and soulful storytelling walks alongside their listeners as they recount familiar narratives of loss, hope, redemption and joy that reflect the origins of the country music genre. Asking the questions that sit at the center of our being.

As they prepare to release their debut album and continue to grow their audiences with their honest & authentic sounds, Wails stands poised to leave an enduring mark on the country/folk music scene. Breathing new life into a traditional genre.

Theirs is a symphony of heartbreak and hope, resonating with all who seek music that speaks directly to the depths of the human heart.
