Beyond the Stage

Mr. & Mrs. Wild's New Rock Music Series on Big Blend Radio

This episode of Big Blend Radio’s "Rants, Raves & Rock ’N Roll" Podcast features Steve and Karen Wilson — better known as Mr. & Mrs. Wild — lifelong music lovers, dedicated concertgoers, and the newest rock music interview hosts joining the network.

Beyond the stage, they are also the owners of The Lion and The Rose Bed & Breakfast and cohosts of Big Blend Radio’s "Adventures in Asheville" Podcast. In this conversation, the focus is on music and creativity — from the power of live performances and evolving concert culture to the lasting influence of Southern rock, hard rock, and metal.

The discussion explores why tribute bands play a vital role in preserving music history through creative interpretation, how early musical influences shape lifelong expression, and why supporting live music remains essential.
