Mixing it up: A band built during quarantine, The Wilson Springs Hotel typically finds Victor Mcmanus on electric guitar, Jacob Ritter on acoustic guitar, and Jacob Korona on upright bass, but since each musician plays multiple instruments, they may switch it up on you. Folksy, rootsy, and positively energetic, WSH draws from the musical traditions of bluegrass, country, and folk, while occasionally adding their own twist to keep it interesting.
