About Me

Woody Pines & The Lonesome Twoâ€œLow-Fi sounds from weird America's rural roots. Resonator guitar, high lonesome harmonica, upright bass, stripped-down drums and foot stomping twang.â€Woody Pines has been playing and singing since he can remember. He left home with his guitar on his back and made it through 49 states before he was 19. After landing on the west coast, he co-founded a ragtime jug band, The Kitchen Syncopators, which sold thousands of their self-released recordings. The Syncopators performed everywhere from the streets of New Orleans to Seattleâ€™s Folklife Festival to the Oregon Country Fair.After several years of living and playing in New Orleans, Woody headed for the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, playing old time music for dances, busking for tourists, and releasing his first solo cd, â€˜Rags to Riches.â€™ Woody played shows all over the south, including a stop in Nashville for a guest appearance at the Grand Ole Opry with friends Old Crow Medicine Show.Today, Woody continues to find ways to reshape the old music, weaving new stories from timeless threads. He combines freak realism and vaudeville showmanship with the sincerity and grace of the rich, traditional landscape of roots music. Woody plays with foot stomping gusto, but knows when to croon a lazy mountain ballad.The Lonesome Two is Tim Peacock on upright bass and Bram Riddlebarger on his stripped-down suitcase drum kit. The full band sound is featured on Woodyâ€™s newest release, Lonesome Shack Blues. Woody is also available for solo performances.For Booking Information contact: Tim Peacock ~ [email protected]. or ~ www.myspace.com/woodypines

It's a rogues gallery of travelers, gamblers, ramblers, outlaws, lovers and ghosts. ".....A quilted landscape from deep within the american psyche." Each track is from a different room in this great big, fallen down house we call the country, some rooms are box cars rattling from the town to the city and back again. Other rooms are not rooms at all, but time machines! I can hear the brass band playing the St. Louis Blues, and see an angel on the corner. Fortune tellers. Portrait painters and Ragtime jugbands. At the headwaters of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, water like music, rocks and rolls, turns and churns along, with riverboat rhythm like a message in a bottle, stories from a different time, always moving toward the sea ------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------
