Artist History The Deep Woods Band was formed in the winter of 2000-01 by a group of mid-valley musicians whose goal was to play the kind of music they loved and didn't get to see locally. With influences as diverse as The Rolling Stones, The Holy Modal Rounders, The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Ray Charles, and The Mugwumps, they are difficult to pidgeonhole, but nothing short of an experience to see and hear. As the band has evolved over the last 2 1/2 years, they have been heading down the road paved by more well known jam bands such as The Dead, String Cheese Incident, and Widespread Panic. The setlist is always in flux, and on any given night you may hear a psychedelic version of Jim Reeves' "Room Full Of Roses" followed by the band's latest original song, a commentary on today's world, "Everything Works If You Let It". They are known for their extended Coltrane-inspired versions of old favorites such as Donovan's "Season Of The Witch" and Disney's "Zip A Dee Doo Da". With a line-up of from five to thirteen players, you never know just what to expect. Three to five guitar players, a bass, two drummers plus a harmonica player, percussionist, keyboard player and a flute are usually on hand. The gruff, blues-tinged vocals of the apparent leader, Viv Pierbolt, is accented by the sweet harmonies of Jessika Brittin and Melanie Reid, the howling harmonica of Allen Studly, and the mesmerizing guitar work of Luke Thomas, Firefly, LBJ and Paul Solo. Add to this mix the dueling drummers Gordon Veltcamp and Chris Olds, and the ringing clarity of Don Caughey's flute flying out over percussionist Clinton Roman's busy counterpoint. Did I mention that sometimes there is fire baton dancing?
