A close interview with the three men in The Wood Brothers
Interview conducted on June 09, 2019 at the Nelsonville Music Festival
by Dan Locke
Two brothers decide to form a band, adapting the blues, folk and other roots‐music sounds they loved as kids into their own evocative sound and twining their voices in the sort of high‐lonesome harmony blend for which sibling singers are often renowned.
Band Members
Oliver Wood – Vocals and Guitar
Chris Wood – Vocals and Bass
Jano Rix – Drums/shuitar
I met The Wood Brothers backstage at the Nelsonville Music Festival before they played a surprise show at one of the stages at Nelsonville. As we seat we had a very enjoyable chat. We talked about the following:
A birthday wish
Why they are called The Wood Brothers
How the band developed
A trip in trip. Talking about their dad working with Joan Baez
What is Americana music
How it was working with the Zap Brown Band and Loggins and Messina
How to be yourself on stage
Playing the shuitar and why you have to have the crappiest guitar
