For nearly five decades, singer and guitarist Tim Woods' career has taken him on a long and storied journey that continues to write new chapters every year. Originally from Western Pennsylvania – where he remains a fixture of the music scene – Tim grew up in a virtual "melting pot" of music. Having older brothers expose him to a wide array of styles, including jazz, blues, bluegrass and rock, Tim's appreciation for all music took root at an early age. During his formative years, this admiration grew into a deep love of the blues of Willie Dixon, Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters. Tim first began performing as a professional with improvisational rock 'n' roll bands – long before the "jam band" genre became as widespread and popular as it is today – playing psychedelic blues and, oftentimes, jamming with local players.
