Wild Love Tigress
Wild Love Tigress is a force of nature - a high-octane, seven-piece funk and soul powerhouse from
Denver born to move bodies and raise the roof. With horns blaring, backing vocals soaring, and an
unapologetically fabulous array of hairstyles, they reinvent 1970s-style funk for the modern era, delivering
danceable grooves with emotional depth and musicianship to match.
Wild Love Tigress was born in 2012 at Denver School of the Arts, where founders Sam Miller, Anthony
Felts, and Keaton Baker - fresh from watching Anchorman - decided their band name should embody
untamed charisma. Today, clad in tiger stripes that perfectly match their live energy, Wild Love Tigress
tears through stages with cohesive, vibrant flair and explosive synergy.
Their self-titled debut album (2022) captured the raw power of their live shows, and, in January 2025,
they unleashed On the Prowl, their sophomore release dripping with groove, featuring the standout
singles “Bendy King,” “I Plead the Fifth,” and “If I Can’t Run.” Critics were buzzing - Westword named it
the Best Funk Album of 2025, praising its immediate “funk fever” and its ability to translate seamlessly
into electrifying live performances.
Wild Love Tigress doesn’t just play shows - they transform rooms. From raucous club nights at Cervantes
and Lost Lake to packed houses at the Fox Theater and headlining festivals, they’ve built a reputation as
one of Colorado’s most exciting live acts. With a mounting schedule of shows and tours stretching from
Texas to Wisconsin, their music has carried them well beyond their Denver roots, bringing high-energy
funk to audiences across the country.
Whether it’s a late-night club, a festival stage, or anywhere people are ready to move, Wild Love Tigress
delivers: groovy, gritty, unapologetically alive funk that gets every crowd on its feet.
“Wild Love Tigress carries a big personality on stage, with Miller's expressive vocals carried by waves
from the brass section before Felts breaks out a masterful solo. Each member shines as much as the
other, concocting a cohesive and streamlined quality that underscores the collaborative talent.” - Denver
