City Winery Philadelphia Presents: Wendlo live on May 20th at 7:30pm.
At a time when many artists chase trends, Wendlo has built a global audience by leaning into something far more powerful: authenticity, musical craftsmanship, and a direct connection with listeners. The singer/songwriter-pop duo of Jacob and Chelsea Hamilton, blends indie-pop songwriting with tight vocal harmonies, distinctive guitar tones and inventive arrangements that feel both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
Recording, producing, filming, and promoting much of their work themselves, the duo crafted a unique sound built on their stripped-down and playful reinterpretations of pop classics along with emotionally resonant original songs earning them a devoted online following.
The range of their songwriting is on full display in cheeky songs like “Wasting Time With You” and “Must Be Nice!” which shows their balance between playfulness and poignancy. The more heartfelt songs like “Love Me” and “Shadow” examine reciprocity in love, while “Spenard” recounts a trip home after the loss of a loved one.
That grassroots momentum helped propel Wendlo beyond the internet and onto larger stages. Their expanding fanbase led to collaborations with notable high-profile creators and musicians including Jack Conte (Patreon CEO, Scary Pockets, Pomplamoose), Josh Harmon (drum foley), Ryan Lerman, Ariel Posen and Emily Bear, while their musicianship drew recognition from artists like Jack Black and John Paul White.
The duo’s growing reputation also translated into major opportunities, including a featured appearance on a PBS New Year's Eve Special and a performance at the Jerry Moss Tribute Concert as well as recording a cover of “Sweet Child O’ Mine” for the Lionsgate film Ordinary Angels.
As their online community continues to grow, Wendlo is transitioning from viral discovery to a fully realized recording and touring act. With new releases and their debut album on the horizon, the duo stands at the forefront of a new generation of artists proving that meaningful careers can be built from creativity, connection, rooted in something much simpler: two musicians, a shared vision, and songs that resonate long after the screen fades to black.
