Wilderado's Max Rainer and Tyler Wimpee met through mutual friends in college and started writing songs together in their fifth year after most of their friends had left. They went on a thirty concert tour with Flipturn in 2022, and expanded the tour to include bands Toledo and Michigander.
In 2016, the band released their first EP, Misty Shrub. On July 22, 2016, the band released their second EP titled Latigo which amassed over 18 million streams on Spotify. On the back of Latigo, Wilderado spent the next year touring with acts such as Band of Horses, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, Lindsey Buckingham, and Judah & The Lion.
In 2018, Wilderado released their third EP titled Favors to warm critical and fan acclaim.
In July 2019, Wilderado released the single Surefire. The song was inspired by the poem “A Gradual Canticle for Augustine” by Tabitha King. Surefire was named one of the "5 Songs You Need to Hear Right Now" by Sirius XM's Spectrum.
In 2020, the band released 3 singles, CFS, Revenant, and Take Some Time, remixed by RJD2, Emancipator, Kyle McEvoy, & by Gus of Alt-J.
In 2021, the band released their newest single, "Head Right."
In October, 2021, the band released their debut album self-titled Wilderado.
In March, 2022, the band appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, for their television debut.
On September 24, 2022, the band performed on CBS Saturday Morning, 'Saturday Sessions' for their AM TV Debut where they performed "Surefire," "Take Some Time," and "Outside My Head."
The current name is an altered version of the name of a town in Texas called Wildorado, which the band came across while driving late at night. Originally the band was named "Bird Dog" until they learned that another band had been using the name prior to them, which prompted the change to the current name.
Morning Light
Wilderado Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
One last call and I'm feeling drunk again
Got this old guitar and some skinny cigarettes
Not quite sure just exactly where I am
and it won't matter where I've been
When the sun comes up in the morning
I'll be well on my way home
Darling now's the time to dry your eyes
Cause I'll be holding you in the morning light
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
These days that I've been gone
are the longest that I've seen
From Austin to LA, and everywhere between
Don't you worry baby I'll be coming home again
I'll be walking up your road I'll be holding out my hand
When the sun comes up in the morning
I'll be well on my way home
Darling now's the time to dry your eyes
Cause I'll be holding you in the morning light
I'll be holding on to you in the morning light
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo
Oooooo

Nonetheless, he promises to come home soon and be there for her, to hold her and be with her in the morning light.
The slow melody and the repetition of "Oooooo" throughout the song give a transcendental and ethereal feeling to the song.
