Wooden Horsemen deliver an infectious charge of electrified grooves, commanding a mix of gritty blues vocals and soulful, driving rhythms.  Their music stands both as a fiery testament to the gospel spirit of the American South and an intimate acknowledgment of the relationship between music and spirituality.  Influenced by the discovery of Alan Lomax's 'American Patchwork' series, tracks such as 'I've Been Changed' and 'You Better Mind' aim to harness the raw spirit of gospel all while maintaining the band's signature modern rock n' roll sound.  Swampy, sweaty and downright dirty blues lay the foundation for ethereal harmonies and a blazing horn section, resulting in a gritty, powerful and ultimately unforgettable live experience.

Known for their powerhouse live performances that capture the raw heart of Roots, Blues, and Rock, Wooden Horsemen are set to release their next highly anticipated EP in February, 2025. Western Canada’s festival favourites since 2014, they have delivered unforgettable sets at major events like the Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Kaslo Jazz Fest, Rifflandia, Sunfest, JUNOfest, Smithers MidSummer Fest, and many more. With another big year of touring ahead, Wooden Horsemen are primed to bring even more explosive, soul-stirring shows to new and familiar festival stage.
