The Wild Blooms is the acoustic duo/trio project of veteran Rochester musicians Dominic Pickard (Guitar, Percussion, Vocals) and Anastasia Polashenski (Keyboard, Melodica, Saxophone, Flute, Vocals).
With chemistry honed since 2021, Dominic and Anastasia are also core members of the band The Flowerhead Folks, giving them an unmatched depth of experience. The duo is known for its flexible, rich sound, seamlessly blending acoustic instruments with distinctive colors from the saxophone, flute, and keyboards.
Their versatility has made them sought-after performers for a wide range of private events, including wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, receptions, and private parties. Beyond their musical performance, their professional experience extends to event coordination, DJing, and MCing weddings, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of event flow.
Both Dominic and Anastasia hold Degrees in Music Education from Nazareth University and are educators in the Rochester area. This background ensures a professional, reliable, and expertly delivered performance every time. Whether they are hosting a bustling open mic night or setting the perfect mood at an established venue, The Wild Blooms specializes in working with clients and venue owners to create a truly tailored performance that matches the event's specific needs and desired vibe.
If you happen to catch a Wild Blooms trio performance, you are in for quite the experience. Emily Cirincione (Viola, Vocals) infuses the group with the haunting sound of the viola, along with vocals and harmonies. Together, the three musicians interact musically and play off one another to create a lush, layered soundscape that feels both intimate and expansive. Emily’s ability to weave classical elegance with modern, textured tones adds a sophisticated dimension to the trio’s repertoire, while her intuitive vocal harmonies provide the final, essential element to the group's signature sound.
