Will Wood Tour Dates & Upcoming Concerts

I am genuinely awestruck from this performance. Never have I experienced such impeccable vocals, crowd work, and storytelling rolled into one show, and I’m so grateful he and the crew trekked out to Columbia. I wasn’t able to bring myself to say anything during the pre-show meet and greet or to Shayfer James at the merch stand (for nerves reasons, not because they seemed unapproachable), but I will never forget that night for the rest of my life. This tour has been going on for nearly two months, and to bring such incredible energy (dare I say, “vibrations”) to the stage and amidst the crew is wildly impressive. 10,000/5 stars.

(This photo I’m adding is the only one I have, because Will had asked for no recordings and such after that point) Will Wood! Where do I begin?? This is a concert I loved not only because of the laid-back acoustic nature of it, but also because of the level of personality Will exuded. I say it’s worth going even just for him alone (though the crowd will sometimes ruin it with heckling). Overall great show! The music played was a lot more personable it seems, and it definitely made me happy to see a change in pace from the eccentric nature of Wills old shows.

Saw him in a small coffee shop venue, it was an acoustic show with only the keyboard and ukelele as opposed to the previous big band shows. Maybe the venue could have been chosen better but I loved seeing him and he was very kind after the show. He walked into the audience and sang to us. The crowd for some reason wasn't really receptive which was sad but I don't think it was the type of place where they could be and no fault of the artist. Got a shirt though and I still wear it all the time!

Oh my god, the way he got into two fake arguments with the drummer, told the audience off (people were filming - totally not me tho because I'm "mature enough to not do that at a concert" /j 😅), and pulled out a rotary phone to have a monologue in the middle of a song were phenomenal. Truly one of the most entertaining displays at a concert I've witnessed! You could tell the Tapeworms were having a blast too, and I loved how the saxophonist put a bowling pin in his horn as a mute! Incredible, just awesome!

FWIW, I only went because my daughter is a huge fan and I didn't want her to go by herself. But WOW--I was blown away. He was phenomenal as a performer--what an incredible show. And Shayfer James was a great opener (and encore closer) as well! Would definitely see them again. And the Echo Lounge was a cool venue--I didn't know it was mostly seated so we got GA tix, but would get the seats next time (I'm old and don't like standing for four hours :-)
