WOODENHEAD

Both had grown up playing rock music, and had played in bands since their early days. influenced by The Beatles,The Rolling Stones, The Byrds, Jimi Hendrix and Cream. In the 70's The Mahavishnu Orchestra had appeared on the scene, and now a music that combined it all, Rock, classical, jazz, seemed like a viable road to follow. The band performed original songs in a an instrumental format, with odd meters, complicated arrangements and improvised solos. The band played New Orleans clubs. They played at the New Contemporary Arts Center in multi-style concerts with rock and jazz groups.The band was soon hired for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. The group has toured the U.S. and Central America and has played the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival for over 20 years.
