The Big Wu

The story goes that the Big Wu, bound for rock stardom, sold their souls for a case of Old Style beer one thirsty night long ago. The legend and the band live on. Still rocking their powerful, moving, and energizing original music for the fans. A jam band with a unique style and presence, the Wu combine strong, free-flowing improv and vocal harmonies, with finely crafted songs for all tastes. Oh, and their fans are famously friendly.
