Details:
Woodenspoon, formed in 1999 is a musical mosaic combining elements of bluegrass, jazz, latin, funk, folk, and rock. The band was originally conceived as a three piece string band, including Guitar, Mandolin, and Bass in Taos NM, where Jason Barady and Terry Sardelli (who grew up together in New Hartford, NY) reunited after wandering separate paths after high school. The group's scattered influences include David Grisman, Sam Bush, Stevie Wonder, Jerry Garcia, John McLaughlin, and Frank Zappa
What started as a small house party gig eventually led to sharing the stage with such acts as moe., Gordon Stone, Dexter Grove, and Al and the TransAmericans, not to mention touring throughout the Midwest. In 2002 they found their way back home to central NY, bringing home the down home, yet eclectic sounds they cultivated out West.
Not long after establishing a regular weekly gig at the Electric Company in Utica, they teamed up with drummer Ed Drake, adding a new element to their music, as well as his musical horizons.
About half a year later, Josh Cannon came back home from West Virginia and began sitting in on guitar. What started as a sit in, quickly became a permanent fixture of the band which even evolved into his taking the dual role of guitar and bass player.
With a solid lineup established, the 'spoon ventured forth into JA Castle Studios to record their first group effort entitled "Come What May" in June of 2004, and have just returned from a second mini tour throughout West Virginia in support of the new release.
