The Woodticks

About Me

Old-time is the core of our music, which is the name given to music of the rural south during the golden early days of radio. Tunes and songs from the early 20th century and before are alive in our hands and hearts, though they are filtered through our own style of string band. Yes, we play old-time, along with maybe an Irish or Scottish tune or two, some originals, and a few other tunes and songs that we just really like and do our own way. Plus a whole lot of singing.When you get right down to it, we all just really enjoy playing music together, so we do whenever we can. And we hope you enjoy it too! MyGen Profile Generator
