The Wooks
Lexington, Kentucky, United States
About
The Wooks parlay a love of the rich musical and storytelling traditions of Bluegrass music into a new, old sound that embraces both a string-music heritage, and rock ‘n roll, jam, and singer-songwriter influences. Live on stage, or through the speakers at home, the Kentucky based band delivers their signature sound, “...with improv-savvy interplay that endears the band to jam music fans and bluegrass traditionalists alike,” according to the Lexington Herald-Leader. Since their inception in late 2014 The Wooks (CJ Cain – guitar/vocals, Harry Clark – mandolin/vocals, Allen Cooke – dobro, George Guthrie (banjo/vocals) have won the 2016 RockyGrass Band Competition, placed in the finals for the 2017 Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition, were a 2017 IBMA Momentum Award Nominee, and were selected a 2018 IBMA official showcase artist. With two Billboard charting albums, Little Circles, and Glory Bound, already in their catalog, 2021 will bring the band's third studio release.
