New Jersey’s indie band Woods are coming to Cali(fornia) in support of their new album, Bend Beyond, which will be released this Fall.   After catching them at Jensen’s Backstage a few years back, we were wowed by the band last Fall at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival.  Leader Jeremy Earl’s high, soulful voice, coupled with his bandmates’ playing and harmonizing, won us over completely.  The band has just released Cali in a Cup from the impending album, which you can listen to below.  The song smacks of Summer, and we’ll drink to that.

Woods plays Velvet Jones in Santa Barbara on August 7th with duo Peaking Lights courtesy of Club Mercy.  The other Cali tour dates are below.
