Woody Samson, the fluid multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer and music teacher, is a product of the lively and experimental music scene in Naarm, Melbourne, Australia.
Born into a musical, (albeit broken) family, Woody began singing in Church choirs and started playing the trumpet at the age of 7, picking up as many instruments as they could along the way. After playing parts in many incredible projects throughout the years in musicals, orchestras and rock/metal/jazz bands, Woody has broken out as a fierce one-human show.
Having lived in 32 houses, home for Woody is now a stage with a guitar, a trumpet, synths/piano, drum machines, percussion, a trombone, a voice spanning over 5 octaves, and a whole lot of fun. Woody arranges these instruments live on stage to create high energy cosmic pop, re-imagining the music of the 80’s with the sounds of the future.
Woody’s much anticipated debut releases come with confronting lyrics, driving cross rhythms and beautiful melodies that soar over dynamic movements and emotion. 2023 looks an exciting year having finished 2022 supporting Kate Ceberano & Bachelor Girl.
