Wood Belly, a contemporary bluegrass band, has played a slew of Americaâs famous venues, ranging from the Boulder Theater to the Oriental Theater in Denver. This week the group is taking its talent to a more intimate setting, playing at the Silver Dollar for the grillâs âSit Down Get Downâ live music series this weekend.
What started as mellow music making sessions in 2015 soon led Wood Belly to the big stage. The group didnât release its first album, âSolid Ground,â until 2018. But once released, the band was a hit winning the Telluride Bluegrass Band Competition.
âThe instrumentation and rhythmic drive of the band is like a tree trunk centered in bluegrass with branches that uninhibitedly reach out in many directions. There is a powerful focus on songwriting, with influences from multiple genres,â Wood Bellyâs website says. â[It] is rooted in tradition but refuses to be confined.â
