Why Arlene’s Grocery Matters
For anyone who knows the New York live music circuit, Arlene’s Grocery is an icon. Originally a bodega turned rock club, it has become a proving ground for bands who want to make their mark in the city. Hosting acts ranging from underground punk to Americana innovators, the venue combines intimacy with raw energy. For The Wonder Licks, it’s the perfect stage to showcase their blend of nostalgic Americana and daring modern twists.
The Wonder Licks’ Sound
The Wonder Licks don’t just play music — they create an experience. Blending the rootsy soul of Americana with modern indie experimentation, their sound has been described as “folky new wave cartwheeling through the woods”. Fans will hear everything from poetic ballads to foot-stomping anthems, each delivered with the band’s trademark wit and authenticity.
The lineup — Jacob Wunderlich (vocals, guitar, piano), Tyler Reina (drums), and Sammy Westervelt (bass) — has been winning over audiences since their debut. With albums like K, Ok, O.K., OKAY! and Life at 7 kHz, they’ve shown their range as both storytellers and performers.
Albums to Stream Before the Show
- K, Ok, O.K., OKAY! – their debut, bursting with ambitious songs that introduced fans to their unique blend of humor and heart.
- Life at 7 kHz – a live studio-style album that captures the band’s raw performance energy and poetic storytelling.
Streaming these records before the show is the best way to prepare. Each track tells part of the band’s story — and live, the songs take on new life.
