The Wonder Licks — Original Music That Echoes Through Guttenberg, NJ

Welcome to The Wonder Licks, a band that turns real life into real sound — right here in Guttenberg, New Jersey.

Nestled along the Hudson River between West New York and North Bergen, Guttenberg may be small in size, but its heartbeat is massive — and our music captures that rhythm. From high-rise rooftops to riverside gatherings, we write and perform original songs that reflect everything this town stands for: creativity, community, and connection.

Our music isn’t about fame or flash — it’s about truth. We tell stories through melody, capture emotion through rhythm, and bring people together through sound. Because here in Guttenberg, every block has a story, and we make sure it gets heard.

Real Stories, Real Songs

Our Guttenberg Sound & Style

Inspired by the river’s calm and the city’s pace — turned into melody, rhythm, and truth.

Original Songs

All originals — written, arranged, and performed by the band. Folk, rock, blues, and soul weave into a voice that’s unmistakably ours. We don’t imitate trends; we write what’s true.

Live Performances

From small bars to rooftop sessions, we bring passion and presence to every set — because music belongs to everyone listening.

Studio Recordings

Authenticity over perfection. We capture the crack in a voice, the hum of an amp, and the quiet between notes — moments, not machines.

Songwriting & Collaboration

We partner with local musicians, producers, and artists — co-writing lyrics, filming live sessions, and building something bigger than a song.
