Ok, you're going to have the chance to see the 2018 Telluride Bluegrass Band Competition and the 2018 International Bluegrass Music Association Momentum Award nominee. Yes, they are that good. Wood Belly is the musical collective of Chris Weist (mandolin), Craig Patterson (guitar), Chris Zink (dobro), Aaron McCloskey (banjo) and Taylor Shuck (bass). A Wood Belly song has its own lyrical persona and masterful arrangement; rooted in bluegrass tradition and planted solidly in contemporary innovation.
Weist, Patterson and Zink met at the Rockygrass Festival in 2015, and within a year, teamed up with McCloskey and Shuck. The music fell into place immediately. The instrumentation and rhythmic drive of the band is like a tree trunk centered in bluegrass with branches that uninhibitedly reach out in many directions. There is a powerful focus on songwriting, with influences from multiple genres. Wood Belly, like other bands in the Newgrass or Grassicana realm, is rooted in tradition but refuses to be confined. Their sound is authentic, passionate and always entertaining.
