Woody Woodworth and The Piners hail from Richmond, Virginia. Woody Woodworth is a singer-song writer that embodies the heart of Americana with his haunting melodies of love, loss, and the American spirit. With a rich background in music, Woodworth writes tales of the blue-collar working class that are easy on the ears and heavy on the heart. Woody Woodworth & The Piners were established in 2016. Their name comes from the bygone expression "to Pine" which is defined as a "deep longing for something or someone". Woodworth and The Piners fuse country, rock and roll, and bluegrass to create a simply southern sound.

In 2018 Woodworth released his debut album “Virginia”. Americana-Uk reviewed the album siting Woodworth as “seriously accomplished writer”. And of the album, “There’s something about his music that’s utterly convincing. He has that ache in his voice that imbues his every word with portent and meaning” defining it as “Excellent folksy Americana set that marks the emergence of a serious talent”.
