It's June, and we're realizing we're not going to get out of this Covid experience anytime soon. Some outdoor concert venues are opening up, and you can hear occasional live music, but certainly not like we had before. Currently, I am available for live socially-distanced "porch" concerts at your home. I've performed one solo, and one with my trio Cellocentric. We'd love to share our music with your community.
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.”
Cleveland Guitar Trio - Touring dates available starting Summer, 2020.
Conference Season - Arts Midwest 2019
Looking forward to this year's Arts Midwest conference.
Hope you'll visit our Wednesday night showcase in the conference hotel.
Lots of fabulous entertainment throughout the evening.

New configuration of Cellocentric
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:
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).
The best link (for me, because I make the highest % from this site) is store.cdbaby.com/cd/dougwood5

Award Nominations 2017
I'm deeply touched that my trio Cellocentric, featuring myself, Tara Hanish, and Darren Frate, just received "Best Instrumental Song" nomination and "Best Album" nomination by the Just Plain Folk Awards.

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.
