2026-2027 Season

Wanderlost

The 2026–2027 season opens with one of Pennsylvania’s most exciting emerging musical groups, Wanderlost, a dynamic piano-driven quartet that has quickly earned recognition for its fresh, genre-crossing sound.

Formed in 2022, Wanderlost combines the accessibility of modern pop and rock with the improvisational freedom of jazz and the rhythmic energy of funk. Their music is driven by memorable melodies, infectious grooves, soaring saxophone lines, and thoughtful songwriting that resonates with audiences of all ages.

The ensemble features:

• Dustin Rainey – Piano & Lead Vocals
• Jason Olear – Drums
• Mike Kokus – Bass & Vocals
• Daniel Hutton – Saxophone

Their self-titled 2024 EP introduced audiences to songs including Carolina and Sinners and Saints, while singles such as Gaslight and This Crazy Life have helped establish the band as one of the Commonwealth’s fastest-rising original acts. Their music explores themes of life’s uncertainties while maintaining an uplifting and energetic spirit that translates beautifully to live performance.

Opening the season with Wanderlost demonstrates the Concert Series’ commitment to presenting innovative new artists while expanding the traditional concert experience. Audiences can expect an evening filled with exceptional musicianship, engaging storytelling, and an exciting blend of musical styles.
