A Look At Other DMB Caravan Bands: The Wood Brothers

Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Tour News at 4:58am on Monday, Aug 1st, 2011

We are half way through the Dave Matthews Band Caravan tour, and there has been a lot of great music so far. For some of you, the Caravan has been an introduction to artists you were not familiar with previously. We here at Antsmarching.org decided to look at a few artists that you may not be as familiar with to give you a bit of a sneak-peak at them as you get ready to head to Governor’s Island on August 26-29.

The Wood Brothers will perform in New York on August 26 (that’s the Friday show if you don’t feel like clicking on the little calendar at the bottom of your computer) at 1:45 pm. So who are The Wood Brothers? Well, it’s not just a catchy gimmick, they are brothers. Oliver (guitar, vocals) and Chris Wood (bass, vocals, harmonica) provide a sound that in principle is not too far off from that of DMB; a fusion of different sounds that mesh together in a funky way. You can hear a mix of southern rock with a hip hop beat in Shoofly Pie. You can check out the song for yourself or just download the sucker for free at the Wood Brothers official site. If the name Wood sounds familiar, that’s because Chris is the same Wood from the jazz group Medeski Martin & Wood. The duo have been featured on NPR, but overall have kept a lower profile media-wise, opting to go the DMB route of word-of-mouth for publicity, based on the strength of their music.

The latest album from The Wood Brothers, Smoke Ring, comes out August 2. You can listen to it streaming at Paste Magazine’s website.

So rather than sit around in a hotel room on Friday, head on over to the DMB Caravan early, and check out The Wood Brothers! Tell em Antsmarching.org sent ya.
