IVY WOOD

The southern-grit influenced alternative rock duo has accomplished what many would consider an extraordinary amount of exploits since it spawned in the heart of Hollywood in the early summer of 2016. The one part Canadian, one part Swedish 2 piece comprised of Julien Baptiste on guitar/vocals and Dennis Nilsson on drums has received accolades from many of the big names of the industry including Buzz Bands LA, Spotify and The Legendary Viper Room in West Hollywood. The landmark night club is known for its gritty vibe and for showcasing rock bands on the rise wrote the following comment on Their Instagram Page the day before the band was scheduled to open for Tool’s Danny Carry Project VOLTO :

“It takes a lot to impress the staff here. We see 5-7 shows a week, 3-5 bands a night and most of us have been or are in bands. We know what’s good and we know bullshit. Ivy Wood came by lately and they impressed us so much we had to have them back immediately to do it again. Stop in tomorrow only if you want to have your ass handed to you with rock and roll”.
​
The Band has been featured on BUZZ BANDS LA and CHICAGO MUSIC GUIDE among others and has recently inked an endorsement deal with the major American guitar string brand GHS.
​
In early September, the word's biggest music streaming service, Spotify, chose Ivy Wood's last single "Bleed Me Clean" to be featured on their official "Fresh Finds: 6 Strings" Playlist. This and a strong connection with their growing fanbase all over the world has helped the band reach an important milestone of 1/2 Million streams.
