Woodlander
Full Throttle Folk!
Woodlander is a trio of musicians who have played together since the 1970s in a popular Northwest rock/country/bluegrass band called Wheatfield (www.wheatfieldoregon.com), which was recently inducted into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame (www.omhof.org). As an acoustic Americana trio, we perform on a variety of instruments, with a strong tilt towards original songs and a well-developed talent for entertaining our audiences.
Woodlander consists of Kerry Canfield on upright bass and accordion, Paul Douglas on guitar, fiddle and harmonica, and Will Hobbs on guitar, mandolin, harmonica and flute. All three write, and Will has several local and national songwriting and lyric competition wins to his credit. With three singers and multi-instrumentalists, you can expect many three part harmonies, along with various combinations of instrumentation and musical influences.
Our CD, Oregon Routes, is self-produced and self-engineered, and we performed and sang all parts: between us, we played 15 different instruments, sang all of the harmonies, and wrote all but one of the songs. It has met with good reviews such as: http://leicesterbangs.blogspot.com/2012/11/review-kromaticats-kromatic-alley.html. , which said "the trio's whip smart playing and windswept vocals provide much to be enjoyed, and fans of old school country and unplugged Americana are in for a particular treat." (Note that we recently changed our name from Kromaticats, which people found hard to pronounce (?!?).)
