The Wonder Licks — Original Songs and True Stories from the Heart of Union City
Welcome to The Wonder Licks, a band that turns life in Union City, New Jersey into sound — honest, soulful, and unapologetically real.
From hillside streets with skyline views to the rhythm of Bergenline Avenue, our music captures what it means to live, dream, and create in a city that never stops moving. We’re proud to bring original songs, heartfelt lyrics, and live performances that feel less like concerts and more like conversations.
Whether you’re a lifelong resident or a new neighbor discovering Union City’s creative pulse, our sound is your soundtrack — raw, reflective, and rooted in community.
Our Union City Sound & Music
Truth-first songwriting, crafted with intention and played from the heart.
Original Songs
Our catalog is 100% original — written, arranged, and performed by the band. Americana storytelling meets indie rock energy and soul-driven vocals, all tied together by honesty.
Live Performances
Not just shows — shared experiences. From local bars to outdoor festivals across Hudson County, we turn small stages into big nights you’ll remember.
Studio Recordings
We capture real chemistry and live emotion — balancing craft with imperfection in North Jersey studios to keep that raw, local character intact.
Songwriting & Collaboration
Union City is full of talent. We write with poets, score for filmmakers, and perform with fellow musicians — because music grows stronger when shared.
Real Stories, Real Songs
Songs written in coffee shops, basements, and city corners — inspired by ordinary people and extraordinary moments.
“They sound like Union City — diverse, vibrant, and full of feeling.”
“The Wonder Licks bring stories to life. You don’t just hear their songs — you live them.”
“Finally, a band that reminds people why live music matters.”
