In July we had back with us as our entertainers the Woodrush band which wowed us with their great music.  The lead singer operated some amazing percussion with his bare toes (a true country boy in the summertime) and what a sound they get.  He does the first couple of bars with his mouth in the mike and records the sound on this machine which he then plays back through out the songs and it is really unique and very effective.  The weather was perfect and everyone really enjoyed them.

 House Concert:  Woodrush

Back again after a sell-out performance with us in March, Woodrush has been performing in the Northwest for over 6 years and is starting to make their presence known to a larger audience. The single, “road trippin’,” off their debut album, “so far from home,” won “Best Acoustic Single of the Year” at the 16th Annual Los Angeles Music Awards.

Nearly 10 years of friendship and songwriting have led Jim and Kelly to a sound that is polished and cohesive. Their music is representative of West Coast acoustic rock with clean melodies and strong harmonies infused into well-crafted songs. Intimate lyrics reveal the voice of a genuine songwriter while vocal percussion peppers their work and completes the Woodrush sound.

Bits of folk, funk, rock, pop, and a hint of modern country make so far from home the perfect album to listen to during a mellow evening with friends or around the campfire at summer’s end. Keep your eyes open for great things to come from these talented performers.

  7:30pm at Brookhaven Lodge.
