And finally, Book of Sounds close out the night with a bang. Mike Wood's solo stuff reminds me alot of Iron & Wine, and Elliott Smith, but now with a band behind him it adds a whole new element. Marc Henry on drums, Derrick on electric and slide guitar, Book of Sounds play beautiful lyrical songs that rock many socks. I love watching these guys play.....

Bio
Book of Sounds is a collection of songs by artist Mike Wood of Austin, Tx with Marc Henry of Dallas, Tx on Drums and Seth campbell on Bass, various other friends playing anything from lap steels, dobros and banjos to mandolins and violins... With strong influences from old and new bluegrass, jazz, indie, and folk groups and songwriters, they have began to compose pieces of raw art and emotion that exemplify the beauty and hardships of life through their own hearts and minds. The duo has connected in such a way that a live performance is eye catching and sincere with sudden and patient crescendos and decrescendos while still calm and relaxing, for the most part. Some artists feel as though they picked a song from the sky when they create something... These gentlemen create songs and place them in the sky for everyone.
