When they were just 14 years old, Nebraska natives Chloe and Noah Gose met each other for the first time and immediately hit it off. With both being lifelong musicians with years of experience already under their belt by that point, it didn’t take them long to realize they wanted to start a band together.

A decade later, the pair’s relationship and band — The Wildwoods — continue to endure. Now married, Chloe and Noah have spent years recording their Americana-folk music and touring the country to support it. While The Wildwoods have gone through many changes in that time, playing with lineups of several different sizes, the group has settled in as a trio that consists of Chloe (violin, vocals), Noah (guitar, vocals) and Andrew Vaggalis (upright bass, vocals).

Area music fans will get to experience The Wildwoods’ nostalgic, harmony-centric sound for themselves next week, when the group performs at 6 p.m. on Aug. 9 at the Deane Center for the Performing Arts, 104 Main St., Wellsboro. The show, which is a part of the Deane Center’s Outdoor Summer Concert Series, is free and open to the public.

“(The tour) has been really good. The shows have been wonderful, and the audience members have been amazing,” said Chloe. “I love getting to meet new fans every single night. It has just been amazing getting our songs to so many new people all across the country.”

The Wildwoods are currently touring to support their most recent album, “Foxfield Saint John,” which debuted in 2023. As their third full-length effort, the album exemplifies how the band has matured through the years, as it makes use of gentle harmonies and string elements to generate an emotional and intricate sound with a chamber folk feeling.

“‘Foxfield Saint John’ is a really special album to me,” Chloe said. “We had been working on the songs for quite a while before we released the whole album together.

“A lot of the songs are based off our travels, and the different places we have been to and the different people that we meet on the road,” she added. “Each song has a specific location that it’s kind of based off of.”

Chloe’s favorite tracks off “Foxfield Saint John” to perform for a live audience include “West Virginia Rain” and “Thirteen Sailboats.” Along with songs from the new album, she said the band will also likely play some of its older material at their show in Wellsboro, and a few well-known cover songs.

“We love putting our own renditions on songs and sharing them on our social media pages,” said Chloe. “The ones we share with crowds are the ones people really loved online.”

One thing that stands out about The Wildwoods in their live show is the phenomenal chemistry the group enjoys. Chloe credits that to the fact that the band truly enjoys spending time together on and off the stage.

“I think that’s one of the things that maybe a lot of bands struggle with — finding the right people to do something like this together with. Because it’s not only about the music, it’s also about the personalities,” she said. “It can be stressful, so I think that is the one thing that is really special about the three of us together — that we are best friends, and we love making music together. I wouldn’t really want to be doing something like this with anybody else.”

Since The Wildwoods formed when Chloe and Noah were still children, she said she can clearly hear the group’s progression when she goes back and listens to older recorded material. The band always created music with a nostalgic feeling, but as they matured so did their lyrical content and melodies. Studying music at the University of Lincoln, where they both graduated, played a big role in this development, she said.

“Each of us has become more intelligent with the music that we’re playing,” said Chloe. “It makes it sound like it’s more grown up.”

Typically, the songwriting duties for the group are left up to Noah, who has a degree in music composition and is particularly adept at writing within the folk genre. But after he comes up with the general blueprint for a song, the other members of the group work together to infuse their own flavors into it.

Two weeks ago, the band released the stand-alone single “Cherry Pickin'” which offers a light-hearted feeling that makes for easy summer listening. Chloe said the band plans to release another single on Aug. 20 called “There Goes the Neighborhood,” which will have a more serious tone.

When The Wildwoods take the stage in Wellsboro next week, Chloe hopes the band will create some new fans and provide the audience with a show they’ll remember fondly.

“I just hope that our songs and our music have just touched people in some way, however they interpret our lyrics and our melodies,” she said. “I just want them to leave the concert with a really warm and good feeling that puts a smile on their face.”
