Chris Wood joins me on the show today. Chris is an incredible bass player, both on the upright and electric, writes and performs amazing music with his brother Oliver in The Wood Bros, plays a mean harp, and can even break out some inspired mid-set dance moves. I first got to know of Chris through his playing with the groundbreaking Medeski, Martin and Wood in the 90's and early 2000's - making amazing records and touring incessantly, and as that band ran its course, Chris switched gears and hooked up with his brother to create some of the grooviest, soulful roots music on record today. The Wood Bros spend a good deal of time on the road now, and we got to talk about all of that, his recording history and influences, as well as what he's doing with his spare time during the pandemic.
