Like the Osmonds, The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players, the Jackson 5, Kings of Leon, The Shaggs, The Muldoons, The Carter Family and The Brady Bunch, Woodman believe that making music can be a family affair. Frank Woodman, songwriter, singer, and rhythm guitar, 19 year old son Derek Woodman on tremolo soaked lead guitar and 17 year old daughter Hillary Woodman with haunting vocals, are Woodman. Registered Nurse and aspiring songwriter, unable to get a band together due to afternoon shift restrictions, recruits his young ones to flesh out his plaintive songs. The experiment worked, with the Woodman voices melding together for some sweet Americana. Songs about childhood joys, lost innocence and stolen car rides, show their love for the American folk song. Joining the Woodman 3 are drummer Kevin Maliszewski and bassist Adam Fuller. This swinging rhythm section add an adventurous rock edge that is ready for the stage. With a dozen shows around their beloved Detroit already played, they are currently booking shows around the youngsters school schedule and hoping to get into the studio in the spring time of 2008 to work on their first long player. |
