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

Historic preservation in Milwaukee is achieved with a carrot-and-stick approach.
The federal and state government will provide developers with “the carrot” income tax credits of up to 20% each are awarded to offset costs of doing historically-sensitive redevelopment projects.
The City of Milwaukee Historic Preservation Commission uses “the stick.” Owners of locally-designated historic buildings must receive approval for any exterior modifications, with no incentive beyond a collective interest in maintaining historic integrity.
