When Oliver and Chris Wood were growing up in Colorado, Oliver taught his younger brother Chris to play the bass. Thirty years later, The Wood Brothers are still making music together, and the result is electrifying. Chris (known for his work with Medeski Martin & Wood) and Oliver have joined forces with multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix. Together, the trio shuffles between bluesy country and swampy funk with their dialed-in harmonies, spunky acoustic guitar, virtuosic upright bass, and jangling percussion. The Wood Brothers draw on their many timeless influences (Robert Johnson, Willie Nelson, Charles Mingus) while always staying grounded in their own fresh sound: playful and warm, with a little brotherly mischief thrown in for good measure.
