woode wood

born in virginia, woode wood lived on multiple coasts (los angeles, baltimore, and key west) before arriving in austin, texas, in 1994. (in fact, in the 70's he hitchhiked from coast to coast 12 times altogether.) after pursuing multiple occupations (cook, journalist, gas jockey), woode discovered his calling at age 36 when a neighbor in key west shoved a guitar in his hands (at his urging) and taught him five chords within an hour.

epiphany! he wrote a song that night and hasn't stopped since. later, he was inspired to move to austin after seeing ann richards on johnny carson; during her eight-minute segment all richards talked about was the vibrant austin music scene.

so far woode wood has released 18 records and 60 music videos. "leap" and "torpedos" are the newest respectively.....
