A Double Bill of Country/singer-songwriter/Americana/Folk goodness comes to the American Woodmark stage at Loft 129! Matt Woods and Luke Hendrickson !
Matt Woods is a product of Appalachia. You can hear his East Tennessee roots tangled in the lines of his songs and it is through this filter he distills the world, both external and internal, into his unique brand of songwriting. You can call it Americana, folk rock, even country music but no matter what it’s called it is, at it core, honest and heartfelt. Spending most of his time on the road, either engaging listeners as a solo artist or enrapturing them with his band, Matt Woods and the Natural Disasters, he would say, if asked, that he is “just trying to share some truth and get along.” 2019 brought the release of Woods’ 4th full length studio album, Natural Disasters, and an impressive touring schedule in support of it across the US and Europe, the latter of which having become a yearly endeavor since the release of 2016’s How To Survive. As the global Covid-19 pandemic brought touring to a halt, Matt moved forward in other ways including keeping connected via online events, writing for future releases, and even releasing an EP titled Mornings After as a companion piece to the 2019 album.
In 2017, after years of playing in bands on weekends, Luke Hendrickson began nurturing a career as a full-time gigging musician and songwriter. In the time since, he has performed in 40 states, as well as Canada and the United Kingdom, releasing 2 studio albums, earning nominations from the Midwest Country Music Organization, for awards such as "Songwriter of the Year" and "Album of the Year".
“A steward of the road and a custodian of its tales, Casey Joe Collins maintains the country’s story. A well-worn guitar and a pen & paper is all he needs to chronicle these blacktop novellas. A songwriter’s songwriter, Casey Joe’s songbook is vast, yet polished. A body of work replete with characters, some real and some imagined, as colorful as the tattoos that adorn his working-class hands.”
