Food for the Wyrm is the evolution of Singer-songwriter Beau James Wilding into a darker, deeper and more aggressively expressive direction that embraces tones of doom, drone and traditional folk channeled with a determined passion to make the most of our one precious life. It is a psychic exploration and a passionate quest to turn fear into growth, dread into excitement and practice acceptance of the wisdom of the dark depths of the unconscious. We will all become food for the wyrm. She waits in silent darkness to devour us all. Death is certain, only the time of death is not known. the clock is ticking, don’t waste your time, don’t waste your life

Stay tuned for the debut release under the Food for the Wyrm moniker in Spring 2026.

Beau James Wilding is a music artist from the south-central coast of California with a wide range of influences. He has been playing guitar and writing songs since the age of fifteen. Beau’s intense emotional relationship with music was deepened after a disease left him “legally blind” at the age of eighteen on a backpacking trip through Europe. His lyrics are often introspective and explore themes of personal development, the immediacy of our one precious life and longing for connection relayed through a sometimes strange, sometimes dark and dreamy landscape of sound. 

Performances by Beau and his band are high-energy, emotionally-charged experiences that nod to the traditional ballad. Raw energy is channeled through a rugged and determined vocal style over furious acoustic guitar strums. Organic and electronic Drones clash and harken back to a mysterious past while invoking anxiety over a dystopian future. Devilishly dancing electric guitar sounds soar and taunt the senses. Lyrics are poetic and charged with a passion to live life to it’s fullest and an encouragement to all to be one’s fullest expression of one’s unique and ever-unfolding self. All over a drum beat which hits the listener square in the gut and keeps the body entranced, intrigued and thirsty for more. Meanwhile, the hum of electric guitar feedback or the grind of the Shruti Box illustrate a continuum of sound that expands in all directions while staying firmly rooted in one unbroken auditory experience. 

Beau and his band play regularly in Southern California and have toured Ireland.  Beau has independently released three  full length albums and most recently an EP. "Violet of the Pacific" (2014), "The Amor Fati of Crazy Cloud" (2019), “seeing I god” (2023), and “here There Be Dragons” (2024). 

Beau has gained College and community radio airplay across the U.S., Canada, and the UK, including official adds and light-to-medium rotation across multiple releases.
