- The Woods -

Combining stellar musicianship, insightful songwriting and
shimmering harmonies into an intoxicating blend, there’s no sound quite
like The Woods. Drawing comparisons to the Eagles and Fleetwood
Mac, The Woods built a devoted following opening for Tim McGraw,
The Cadillac Three, Clint Black and others. Trio members Dan
O’Rourke, Raquel Cole and Leland Rooney channel their individual
strengths and influences into a unique sound that pays homage to their
favorite 70s folk rock legends while also incorporating the ear grabbing
hooks that make modern country such a dominant force on today’s
musical landscape.
Following their groundbreaking debut EP Nowhere is Somewhere,
they return with their sophomore effort Lose It, a bold set that spotlights
their unerring song sense and stunning harmonies. Cole is a native of
British Columbia, Canada who has earned acclaim for her earnest,
evocative vocals. O’Rourke was born in New Jersey but has really called
the road his home as he’s spent time all over including taking up
residence in California and Arizona before making his way to Nashville.
Rooney is a Dallas, Texas native, who honed his talents on the
competitive Lone Star music circuit before moving to Nashville. Each
member brings a specific skill set and musical history to their work
together as The Woods, and those gifts have made them country’s most
exciting new band.

There’s something about being in the woods that stimulates the senses,
fostering a feeling of peace and comfort yet also spurring a sense of
adventure. Listening to the pristine harmonies and driving country rock
of The Woods provokes that same sense of wonder and awe. The
talented trio are carving a unique path buoyed by skilled musicianship,
carefully crafted songwriting and a stunning, shimmering vocal blend
that has quickly made them one of the most highly respected new acts in
country music.
