Will Wood

In the ten years since the release of his debut album, indie singer-songwriter Will Wood has played the roles of drug-addled shock jockey, cryptic art-rock recluse, self-deprecating chamber-pop balladeer, and storytelling alt-comic with paradoxically equal parts authenticity and theatricality.

While it may have served Wood well to fall in line with the demands many artists face when confronted with an unexpected viral moment, the cult singer-songwriter has remained defiantly himself. In the theater, Wood’s emotive storytelling and standup intertwines with his widely varying style of music in a way that refuses to conform to either tradition, and when with his band, his raucous “Tapeworms” concerts are equally unconventional. His upcoming “Mr. Wood is Dead” 10-year-anniversary tour will be bringing both around the country, in front of larger audiences than ever before.

Will Wood is a pescatarian, collects stuffed rats, and lives in New Jersey with his girlfriend and a dozen or so rescued stray cats. To inquire about adoptions or donate to help cover their medical needs, visit https://linksta.cc/@SnooterFriends. (In partnership with Atlantic Critters Rescue)
