bradm Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 On Wednesday, December 9, 2009, The Wood Brothers (one of whom is Chris Wood, bassist in Medeski, Martin, and Wood) will be playing at Petit Campus in Montreal, QC.Oliver and Chris Wood grew up in Boulder, Colorado. Sons of a Poet and a Microbiologist, they both took up music. Oliver moved to Atlanta and became a southerner. Chris moved to New York City and became a Yankee. Now, after years of musical and geographical separation they have reunited.While in Atlanta, Oliver soaked up the roots of blues, the soul of the south, and found he had a talent for writing and singing songs. His band, King Johnson (named after Freddy King and Robert Johnson) toured mostly in the southern states. Meanwhile, Chris was living in Manhattan playing everything from free jazz to rock and roll. This is where he met his band mates to form Medeski Martin & Wood.Now The Wood Brothers have begun a collaboration that combines their shared childhood influences with everything they've learned since leaving home. Their music has a rootsy feel that blends blues, folk, and rock music in a guitar/bass duo.The brothers’ new album, "Loaded" produced by John Medeski, was released on Blue Note.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 Although I will not be able to attend this show, I'd highly recommend it to all. The Wood Brothers cd is just so dreamy. And not one second of pots and pans jamming with an alley cat in heat......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobL Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Cool Hart. I love that album too. Seeing as you are in colorado if you ever see that on vinyl keep me in mind. not sure if it was released on vinyl. I have loaded on vinyl and it's very juicy.
