In the ten years since the release of his debut album, indie singer-songwriter Will Wood has
played the roles of drug-addled shock jockey, cryptic art-rock recluse, self-deprecating
chamber-pop balladeer, and storytelling alt-comic with paradoxically equal parts authenticity and
Theatricality.
While it may have served Wood well to fall in line with the demands many artists face when
confronted with an unexpected viral moment, the cult singer-songwriter has remained defiantly
himself. In the theater, Wood’s emotive storytelling and standup intertwines with his widely
varying style of music in a way that refuses to conform to either tradition, and when with his
band, his raucous “Tapeworms” concerts are equally unconventional. His upcoming “Mr. Wood
is Dead” 10-year-anniversary tour will be bringing both around the country, in front of larger
audiences than ever before.
Will Wood is a pescatarian, collects stuffed rats, and lives in New Jersey with his girlfriend and a
dozen or so rescued stray cats. To inquire about adoptions or donate to help cover their medical
