Brooklyn-based, Florida-born singer-songwriter Wiley Gaby (formerly Goldenchild) brings heartfelt hurtin’ songs and tear-stained vocals to the stage—exploring “balladeer vulnerability and melodrama by swelling into high notes and emoting with sly finesse” (NPR Music). Lauded as Brooklyn’s “heart-wrenching queer country troubadour” (Thotyssey NYC) and known for “gorgeous, cosmic country” (Karen & the Sorrows), Wiley’s solo debut arrives in 2026 via Mississippi’s Dial Back Sound and features an array of musical talent, including Matt Patton (Drive-By Truckers, Dexateens), Marissa Paternoster (Screaming Females, Noun), and multi-instrumentalist/producer/arranger Ryan Jewell.
