Woody Simmons

Woody Simmons began her musical career writing and singing radio advertisements. A multi-instrumentalist (electric guitar, piano, mandolin), she actually is probably most widely known for her liquid and melodic modal banjo design, which mixes components of both traditional as well as the experimental within an approach that’s in the jazz aspect of modern. She performed banjo on Cris Williamson’s Changer as well as the Transformed album, that was released in 1975, and became an employee engineer at John Altmann Documenting in 1978. Simmons proceeds to create music for radio and tv, and continues to utilize several independent music artists. Her albums consist of Oregon Mountains (1977), Woody Simmons (1980), and Banjorama (2001), which have been released by Deep River Information.
