The Wonder Licks — Original Songs with the Soul of Edgewater, NJ
Welcome to The Wonder Licks, the local heartbeat of Edgewater, New Jersey — where stories become songs and skyline lights become lyrics.
From the shimmering Hudson River to the hum of River Road, our music is inspired by the contrasts that define Edgewater: city and calm, skyline and silence, hustle and heart.
We’re not just a band; we’re a reflection of life here — turning the everyday moments that make this town unique into original music that moves people. Whether you catch us performing live, stream our latest tracks, or stumble upon a riverside jam session, one thing’s for sure: you’ll hear Edgewater in every note.
Real Stories, Real Songs
Written for people — not algorithms. One chord at a time.
“Their sound feels like the river — calm and powerful at the same time.”
“Every song tells a story you didn’t know you needed to hear.”
“The Wonder Licks remind me that local music still has heart.”
