About WAYLAND
Hailing from the heart of West Michigan, WAYLAND is more than music—it’s a relentless force in the Country-Rock scene. With their unique blend of gritty, hard-working tunes, they’ve coined a sound that’s all their own: “working class music.” For seven tireless years, WAYLAND crisscrossed the nation, dedicating three hundred days each year to touring, playing two hundred electrifying shows annually. Their dedication forged an unbreakable bond with their fans, the fiercely loyal “WAYLAND WARRIORS.”

WAYLAND’s ethos is simple: no one outplays them, on or off the stage, a mantra vividly brought to life in their dynamic, viral music video for “Get A Little,” a working man’s anthem. Their relentless spirit has led them to remarkable heights—four top forty hits and two top twenties in active rock radio, alongside two tracks making waves in country radio’s top 80.

WAYLAND’s collaboration with cultural icon Guy Fieri marks a unique crossover into the realm of food and entertainment, mirroring their own genre-melding musical style.

As they gear up for the release of their eagerly anticipated full-length album on March 15, 2024, WAYLAND stands poised at the brink of a new chapter. A chapter where their raw, authentic sound continues to capture hearts and define a genre. WAYLAND isn’t just a band; it’s an experience—a testament to the power of music that comes straight from the soul.
