Bill Wood’s songs have been described as “what happens when 30 years of songwriting, honed over decades of hard life experiences, meet the
craftsmanship of a career musician who doesn’t know what it means to
compromise.” Paired with the sweet sounds of Burke Carroll’s pedal steel
and resophonic guitars, these songs take on the aura of old favourites with a
brand-new feel.
Bill & Burke perform original songs that range from heartbreaking ballads to
classic country shuffle. You’ll swear you’ve heard those songs before.
Bill is the songwriter and front man for Bill Wood and The Woodies, a
respected roots rock band on the Southern Ontario circuit.
An industry veteran singer-songwriter and former lead vocalist for Juno-
nominees EyeEye, Wood became disillusioned with the music industry’s “star
maker machinery,” and stepped away from recording and performing in the
early 90s to focus on raising his family and making a living.
Bill has recently moved to Prince Edward County where he is quickly
becoming a familiar voice at local venues and on the airwaves.
Bill’s most recent releases include the Bill Wood and The Woodies disc,
Mumbo Jumbo Tumbo and 2018’s Cardinal, featuring the Wood Family
Singers. He is currently recording a new Woodies album— next up is the first
Bill & Burke album.
“Some singers, like Nick Lowe and Graham Parker, have the knack of reformatting the punk sneer
and growl into something that perfectly fits the roots-rock template of their music. Bill Wood shares
this talent.” —Peter Tomkins, R2 Magazine, (UK)
