The Wyld Men - Musical Vegetable Theater

The art of cooking and the art of music merge into a new realm of expression thanks to vegetable musicians like the Wyld Men and the Vienna Vegetable Orchestra! Vegetables are, no doubt, a great, edible gift from the earth. But to fully appreciate this gift, one must indulge in everything the vegetable has to offer. One cannot fully appreciate the broccoli without first creating a broccoliophone. Try this and be warned: the next time you are at the grocery store, you will be happily surprised by your new perception of every single fruit and vegetable. Don’t feel self-conscious fondling all of the eggplants and gourds (your inquiries have a purpose).

The Wyld Men are a talented trio who are known for their wild theatrical performances (often involving mud) and their heart-warming vegetable music. The Wyld Men are Douglas Mumaw, Jonathan Crocker, and David Macejka.

Their most versatile vegetable instrument, the Slide Potato (pat.pend.), can be seen in their music video on their website.

Their website also has instructions on creating your own vegetable instrument at home. This could be a fun project or workshop for all you artistically inclined herbivores out there!
