The Wild Reeds have covered a lot of ground this year raising their voices in support of their new album “The World We Built.” They hit the road in February for a month of shows leading up to the South by Southwest Music Festival, then packed the van again in mid-April for 26 more North American tour dates that, finally, brought them to the Teragram Ballroom on Saturday night.

Suffice to say that the trio — Kinsey Lee, Sharon Silva and Mackenzie Howe — were road-tested, dispensing their lovely harmonies on a night of exuberant folk-rock. Nashville’s Blank Range preceded the headliners (with the trio helping on a couple of their numbers) and Allie Crow Buckley, a Bay Area singer-songwriter who recently relocated to L.A., opened the show. Everybody filled the stage for the night’s finale, a cover of the Kinks’ “Strangers.”

Wild Reeds setlist: Fix You Up, Capable, Fall to Sleep, Everything Looks Better in Hindsight, Catch and Release, Back to Earth, Where I’m Going, Patience, Not an Option, Fruition, World We Built, Only Songs. Encore: Blind and Brace, Strangers (Kinks cover)
