the Bay Area's most entertaining band
Wild Child Emeritus
Whether a member of Wild Child or a guest player, or a friend doing creative work for the band, our motto is"once in the band, always in the band"!
Here are some of these righteous people...
An original member and guest player for Wild Child before his move to Auburn, Shawn is a talented guitar player and authentic blues man at heart! He is a member of the old school Americana band, Norman Collins and the Tumblers, and plays to crowds around the Bay Area and Sierra foothills.

drummer who plays for established Bay Area classic rock band, Dutch Uncle, among his many projects and music endeavors.
A former member and guest player for Wild Child before his move to the Hawaiian island of Molokai, Harold is such a talented and melodic bassist and singer. Aloha brother!

A multi-talented drummer and guest player for Wild Child, Mark Anenberg is possibly the busiest artist in the Bay Area. When not drumming, he is often found running pro sound and/or photography for many prominent events, including the San Jose Jazz Festival and SoFA Street Fair. Check out his work!

John Hasty started playing piano at five with a teacher who instilled a sense of joy and fun in playing. His musical influences include the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Tower of Power, and Booker T. and the M.G.s, because the music was based around a strong groove. Working in numerous Bay Area bands over the years has been a great source of enjoyment.

A Silicon Valley native with deep roots in San Jose, she brings a soul and vocal talent which cannot be denied. Whether singing Aretha or an old school classic Mexican ballad by Vicente Fernandez, Michelle stands out in the crowd. Michelle has performed all over the Bay Area including special events like The Downtown San Jose's Fireworks Show for 4th of July.
