Woody Pines

You’d never guess it from hearing his old-timey, Southern-influenced music, but Woody Pines is from New Hampshire. Pines slice his tooth playing summer celebrations on the western coastline and busking within the roads of New Orleans with your kitchen Syncopators, a music group he were only available in 1998 with Gill Landry. After four years finding a musical education in New Orleans — while living poor and sometimes paying lease with wines and Lucky Attacks — Pines remaining the music group and going north to Ohio. He documented a solo recording entitled Rags to Riches in 2006 and adopted that with two even more the following yr. The 1st, a lo-fi garage area recording, was known as Lonesome Shack Blues, as the second was a self-titled recording recorded beneath the moniker Woody Pines & the Lonesome Two. The “Lonesome Two” contains Tim Peacock on bass and Bram Riddlebarger on drums. The music group Woody Pines was created in Athens, OH, in 2008, and mixes most of Pines’ many affects into one down-homey mixture of ragtime, nation blues, origins/Americana, rockabilly, and New Orleans-style jazz. The next year, Pines relocated the music group to Asheville, NC, and documented Keeping track of Alligators. Pines performed his customary business lead role, handling acoustic guitar, harmonica, and vocals, with Zack Pozebanchuk on upright bass and Andy Tubb and Rennie Elliot splitting drum responsibilities. Keeping track of Alligators was documented by Pines’ older friend from his Kitchen Syncopators times, Gill Landry, who in 2008 changed Critter Fuqua in Aged Crow Medicine Display. Landry also takes on on several songs, as does Aged Crow member Ketch Secor, who lends his fiddle. Another fiddle participant who assisted using the recording, Darin Gentry offers since turn into a full person in Woody Pines. Tubb and Elliot had been also changed on drum by Nathan Taylor, who has a stripped-down snare drum, comparable to Slim Jim Phantom’s percussion function using the Stray Felines. Evaluations between Woody Pines and Aged Crow Medicine Display are easy to create. Both are area of the hip, youthful era of traditional string rings that have helped revive an interest within a music from a bygone period, and both discovered their build through immersion and many years of busking. Nevertheless, Woody Pines’ audio is much even more steeped in the previous ragtime experience of New Orleans than that of Aged Crow. Pines, himself, it will also be observed, has a tiny reputation being a virtuoso over the kazoo.
