Wheeler Presents: The Wood Brothers

Grammy-nominated trio The Wood Brothers formed after brothers Chris and Oliver Wood spent more than a decade pursuing separate musical paths. Chris Wood is widely known for his work as a founding member of Medeski Martin & Wood, while Oliver Wood built a devoted following leading the Southern roots band King Johnson. Joined by multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix, the trio has become one of roots music’s most respected acts, releasing nine studio albums and performing to sold-out audiences across North America. Their latest release, Puff of Smoke, reflects on impermanence and mindfulness, delivered through inventive songwriting, rich textures, and an improvisational approach shaped by years of collaboration.
