If CT Folk had their fest in the woods and no one came, would it make a sound? The answer on this day is a definite “yes”. Oliver Wood is the singer songwriting guitar playing brother of the Wood Brothers. With his bass playing brother Chris, TheWood Brothers have steadily increased their stature in the jam rock world. CT Folk was so excited to get Oliver to play the Fest, they were nervous about overcrowding and had him as TBA until 10 days before showtime. Sunday afternoon time slot, sketchy weather, and the fact that it was just Oliver, resulted in a lucky hundred music fans catching this great artist. Joined on stage by a bass player and drummer who also played keys, they were capable in support of the decidedly Wood Brothers set list. I’m a fan, and the songs didn’t disappoint. Tunes included: One More Day, Postcards From Hell, Luckiest Man, Chocolate On My Tongue, Atlas and closed with an excellent Buckets of Rain and Get Out My Life Woman. Oliver’s voice is like a broken in leather jacket, comfortable, familiar, and stylish.
