The Wild Deer bio

Drawing their influences from the Beatles, the Clash, Paul Weller,
Led Zeppelin, the Ramones, the Rolling Stones, Shane MacGowan,
Jimi Hendrix, and Johnny Cash, The WILD DEER are a new
rock & roll band who combine elements of traditional British and American rock & roll music to create their own instantly-recognizable sound.

THE WILD DEER are led by singer, songwriter, and bass guitarist
Ed Fingerling, who honed his rock songwriting skills as a member of late 1990s NYC pop/punk/roots group Oral Groove, the early 00s NYC rock band Ultrafine, and a solo era (his 2003 eponymous solo release is available on itunes).

Lead guitarist/songwriter Chris Pedersen, a New Jersey Shore native, was the singer/songwriter/guitarist in the NYC rock band The Local 7. Chris rightly claims Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Billy Gibbons, Jimi Hendrix, James Burton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Eric Clapton, Johnny Thunders, J. White III, Mick Ronson, and Jimmy Page as his influences. As an actor, Chris can be seen as a cop on CBS's hit daytime drama "As the World Turns", and in Chappelle's Show Season 2.

The Wild Deer's 11-song debut cd LIVE FREE will be released in January 2007. Produced by Leo Overtoom, known for his work with Ben Folds, it features New York Dolls lead guitarist Steve Conte on the song "Watch Your Step," as well as Felice Rosser of NYC rock band FAITH, who sings on the songs "Like Dragonflies" and "Grass."

Additionally, there have been several developments with songs from "Live Free" prior to its release:
