Biography

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. since 2004, woode has performed extensively throughout the greater austin area and texas, a sixteen state tour in 2007, as well as performing for the morning runners and walkers on the town lake hike and bike trail. woode also sang the national anthem for a 7,000-strong audience at a university of texas basketball game. his music has been featured on kut, kgsr, the austin-american statesman, and several local and national television stations. austin is where i am meant to be, says woode. the whole world is opening up like a clam shell. - s. kirk walsh for the whole story, read the blog: http://www.woodewood.com
