The siblings who make up The Wood Brothers spent their childhood listening and drinking in the creativity that came from their family unit. Their father not only passed on a deep record collection to them, but also performed for the boys often. Coupled with the lessons in writing they learned from their poet mother, they had the perfect formula for musical success. Yet, the two pursued separate artistic paths, and it was not until 15 years of performing that their paths intersected, forming the dynamic group The Wood Brothers. They are steeped heavily in the sounds of the Blues and Americana – The Wood Brothers tie everything together with rock solid technique, fused with flawless harmonies. If I had an all-encompassing rule for life, it’d be that you have to follow your heart.” Carsie Blanton says. “It doesn’t mean that everything it tells you is going to be smart, but you have to follow it anyway.” Following her heart has worked out pretty well for Carsie, earning her widespread critical acclaim and a coast-to-coast fan following for her clever wordplay and indelible melodies. The remarkable new Idiot Heart represents the Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter’s finest work thus far, a panoramic collection of exuberant, expansive folk-pop, crafted with uncommon spirit and ingenuity. Songs such as “Together Too Long” and “Backbone” are given breath by producer Oliver Wood’s warm, unaffected arrangements and Blanton’s remarkable vocal stylings, at turns coy and confident, sly and sensual. Idiot Heart reveals Carsie Blanton to be a preternaturally gifted storyteller whose extraordinary life experiences fuel her open, knowing lyricism, using finely etched characterizations and a deeply personal perspective to touch a truly universal chord. more >>> Reserved Table for Two$60.00 Reserved Table for Four$120.00 General Admission$15.00 in advance $20.00 day of show
