This Fall has been very busy for making muse. If you have not kept up, I've been lucky to be working with 2 fabulous musicians: Arleigh Savage (bassoon) and Carolina Borja (cello). We've been writing new music and gearing up for some fun gigs in the upcoming months.
You can check out a video sample of some new work here:
Classically-Infused Folk, Rock, Jazz instrumental guitar.
“Outstanding guest artists support Wood’s musical vision without compromising his clean, melody-driven guitar sound. Contemplative and at times mesmerizing and relaxing without putting you to sleep.”
- Ken Baker, Radio Kansas, producer of “Nightcrossings.”
THE NEW CD IS HERE!! Woo Hoo!!
Hi All.
The new CD is here.
Thanks to Tara Hanish for coming from NYC to perform at the CD release show last weekend. Tara (cello) and Darren Frate (bass) did an awesome job on the CD, as did producer/recording engineer Dale Peters (who also worked a little percussion magic on track 11).

Guys With Guitars
5 years ago, I started a concept called "Guys With Guitars." The idea was to have several solo artists performing live and on stage together. I took the idea of the concept from the old Windham Hill concert series. Currently, the show features myself, Darren Frate, and Patrick Woods. We each play our own solo tunes, but then have the chance to collaborate on fun tunes like this one:
Classical Music in CLE
On Tuesday, I was invited to perform by Classical Revolution Cleveland at the Happy Dog Euclid Tavern. Love seeing so many awesome musicians... mostly classical, but you get some non-classical, too. Thanks Ariel for doing such a great job hosting this event.
I'll be at the next one at Happy Dog west-side this coming Tuesday the 20th.
