Jim White is a highly original voice in the immense Southern gothic tradition. When broken humanity aches for grace, music like his may give you a shot at redemption.

Raised in Pensacola, Florida, a town crushed between the church and heroin, Jim’s songs reach deep into the underbelly of the South. One time Pentacostal, fashion model, New York taxi driver, drifter, pro-surfer, photographer, film-maker, his music is the conduit for all the stories he collected along the way. His albums are acclaimed as masterpieces of ‘outer space alt.country’ and established Jim as a phenomenal maverick talent. Now living in an old farmhouse in the backwoods of Georgia, Jim White may have finally reached a place called home, but his other search, for what he calls ‘the gold tooth in God’s crooked smile’ continues in his latest set of backyard tales, Transnormal Skiperoo .

Oliver and Chris Wood grew up in Boulder, Colorado. Sons of a Poet and a Microbiologist, they both took up music. Oliver moved to Atlanta and became a southerner. Chris moved to New York City and became a Yankee. Now, after years of musical and geographical separation they have reunited. While in Atlanta, Oliver soaked up the roots of blues, the soul of the south, and found he had a talent for writing and singing songs. Meanwhile, Chris was playing everything from free jazz to rock and roll. This is where he met his band mates to form Medeski Martin & Wood.
The Wood Brothers have began as a collaboration that combines their shared childhood influences with everything they've learned since leaving home. Their 2008 release, Loaded, finds the duo engaged in a more expansive musical dialogue that commenced well before they hit the studio; they collaborated for the first time on writing material together.
