The Wonder Licks — Original Songs That Capture the Soul of New Rochelle, NY
Welcome to The Wonder Licks, New Rochelle’s homegrown storytellers in sound.
From the harbor to the high-rises, from the downtown arts scene to quiet side streets, our band turns real life into real music — original songs that speak to the heart and move the spirit.
We believe music should be honest, human, and alive — and that’s what we create here in New Rochelle. Every performance, every track, every lyric reflects the rhythm of this city: diverse, creative, and constantly evolving. Whether you’re catching us live or streaming at home, we invite you to experience what local, independent music truly sounds like.
Real Stories, Real Songs
We don’t write for charts — we write for connection.
“They sound like New Rochelle — full of life, color, and character.”
“Every song feels personal — like they’ve lived the words they’re singing.”
“The Wonder Licks remind us what real, original music feels like.”
Our New Rochelle Sound & Style
Stories you can hear — roots rock, folk, and a touch of soul.
Original Songs
Real moments set to melody — conversation in the lyrics, confession in the chords. Love, change, hope, and everything in between. We write it, we play it, we live it.
Live Performances
Downtown sets, community festivals, and intimate rooms where the crowd becomes part of the song. Energy, honesty, and connection — no two nights the same.
Studio Recordings
Feeling over perfection. Recorded in Westchester County to preserve the warmth of live instruments and the rawness of human emotion.
Songwriting & Collaboration
We co-create with local artists, producers, and storytellers — adding new layers to our sound and keeping New Rochelle’s arts community thriving.
