The best way to learn about the influences and history of The Deadwoods, is to learn about each of the band's parts.
The Deadwoods line-up began to develop over a decade ago when Dave and James started jamming together in various
cover bands in high school, pounding out classic, alternative, rockabilly and Minneapolis
rock 'n' roll. After a long while of drinking, playing, and experimenting Dave began writing his own original songs, and with
James backing on drums the two recorded a full length solo CD called "Short of Breath". Within a few years we had a full time bass player and guitar player and we recorded "High Quality Dirt" and "Black Eyed Susan". We now have a new bass player, Mark, and a sort of new (we haven't recorded with him yet anyways) lead guitar player, Corey.
The Deadwoods have musical influences that cover the musical gammut,
from Rock to Country, Blues to Jazz, and Funk to Folk. Their style
is a unique blend of musical personalities that they like to simply
call rock and roll. Come out and see us at our next show and give us a label for yourself!
