(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
