Wing & The Flight Risks

Wing & The Flight Risks is a blues-rooted, guitar-forward band born in the mountain shadows of Missoula, Montana. What started as a few rough ideas in a hot summer garage in 2023 became a place where stories, soul, and six strings come together—loud, loose, and honest.

Led by Jacob Wing—a longtime producer, engineer, session player, and songwriter finally stepping out from behind the scenes—the band is a blend of lived-in musicianship and a simple desire to make something real.

In their words: "It's music from a bunch of nobodies in the middle of nowhere—made for anyone who still believes in the kind of sound that rattles your chest and sticks in your bones."

Influenced by legends like B.B. King, Freddie King, Albert King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, and Jimi Hendrix, with a modern edge from artists like John Mayer, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Marcus King, and even a bit of Foo Fighters grit—Wing & The Flight Risks don’t chase trends.
They chase feel.

The songs drift between moody, atmospheric blues and solos that fly just far enough to catch your breath. Jazz-influenced rhythms and classic tones meet lyrics about life, love, and the kind of roads you only find by getting lost.

It’s not about perfection.
It’s about connection.

And if you're listening—
you’re already under our wing.
