Why You Might Care:
• The Band: Wonderlick is singer Tim Quirk and guitarist/producer Jay Blumenfield—best known in the 90s alt rock world as half of cult favorites Too Much Joy.
• The Hook: They’re touring behind a brand new LP, Wonderlick Goes to War, an 11 song blast of jangly guitars, bubbling synths, and sharply sarcastic lyrics about resisting hate and finding hope. Think The Mekons covering Woody Guthrie, produced by Dave Trumfio (Wilco, Built to Spill).
• The Ethos: Wonderlick built this tour on house concerts, DIY rooms, and community spaces—no Live Nation middlemen, just honest music in places where conversation still matters. That’s why Craft Local felt perfect: musician run, art on the walls, beer in hand, everyone welcome.
“The intimacy of the performance made me hear the songs—mostly Wonderlick tunes with a couple Too Much Joy chestnuts sprinkled in—in a completely different way. It was a great experience.” —JP Davis music journalist
