About Me

I'm Ernie Wood. I sing, play guitar and write songs. The songs playing above were recorded with my previous band Walkie Talkie Playset.(Kroeker, Kroeker, Ladd, Wood) Before that I fronted The Ernie Birds (Best, Butters, Wood, Wood) And most recently played surf instrumentals in The Adventures (Kroeker, Ladd, Scott, Wood) Oh Yeah, almost forgot about our early-mid 90's acoustic trio One Word (Ladd, Solmundson, Wood) somewhat hippie-dippie. Presently, I am working on a new project called The English Moccasins (Kirkpatrick, Scott, Wood, Wood). We will focus our energies on self-penned originals mixed with British Invasion classics and a few other gems for good measure!!
