This musically competent and engaging collaboration between loyal friends Brooks Wood (lead vox/acoustic), Danny Shampine (drums), Grant Emerson (bass), and Paul Sheeran (electric lead) is creeping up on the music scene through the vigorous growth of a continually faithful fan-base that spans the globe. Attracted to their music by its lyrical and melodic accessibility, these devoted fans endorse and inspire BWB to continue its relentless touring schedule.

The young four-piece has widespread influences that touch on everything from jazzy rhythms, punk rock progressions, and moments of classical flair, to vocals that pay homage to an infusion of Matchbox Twenty harmonies and a soul-choked lead a la Marc Broussard. Having shared the stage with some of the modern day greats (Edwin McCain, John Mayer, Cartel, Carbon Leaf, Will Hoge, and many more), they know well the recipe for a live show thriving on energy and crowd interaction. It's this atmosphere of musical energy created during each performance that repeatedly leaves audiences yearning for more. Whether captivating small clubs or thundering crowds of thousands, Brooks Wood Band is one of the most promising acts you may yet to have heard and would certainly regret passing up.
