The Wood Brothers take the stage at 8 p.m.The Grammy-nominated Wood Brothers is an American folk band consisting of brothers Chris and Oliver Wood, as well as multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix. Brothers Oliver and Chris Wood grew up in Boulder, CO, and both left the area after graduating from high school, Oliver moving to Atlanta while Chris ended up in New York. Oliver, a guitarist, discovered he had a knack for writing songs and formed the blues-based King Johnson, which continues to do frequent gigs on the Southern circuit. Chris, a bassist, began playing jazz and rock in New York, eventually teaming up with John Medeski and Billy Martin to form the successful jazz-funk trio Medeski, Martin & Wood. The brothers began jamming together at family functions, and the duo’s roots-inflected blend of blues, folk, and rock quickly took shape.
