The members
Woodenhead would like to thank everyone across the country for the help
and support during the Hurricane Katrina disaster. All of us spent time
in exile while New Orleans was uninhabitable, and experienced hospitality
in other cities that will not be forgotten. We are all home now.Keyboardist
Fran Comiskey and bassist Paul Clement are still in temporary homes,
as they rebuild their flood damaged houses. Jimmy Robinson's Big
Green Warehouse complex where Woodenhead and other bands rehearse
is being repaired as well. We would also like to thank NARAS Musicares
program, especially Reid Wick, and Bob Ezrin and The Edge at Music Rising
for their aid to Woodenhead members and New Orleans musicians. Jimmy
Robinson wants to thank the Memphis music community for the solo gigs
and enthusiasm while he and his family stayed there. The band was invited
to submit a track to AFTER THE STORM, a Katrina benefit CD featuring
prorock artists coordinated by NEARFEST RECORDS. The disc features
terrific bands including HAPPY THE MAN, MIKE KENEALLY, KANSAS, THE CALIFORNIA
GUITAR TRIO, SPOCK'S BEARD and a host of others. The cd is available
at Nearfest records. www.nearfestrecords.com/ The band has begun performing again as the local music scene returns , with recent shows at Tipitina's with The Bonerama Horns, at Carrollton Station. Woodenhead will play with TWANGORAMA at LE BON TEMPS ROULE in New Orleans on Saturday, Feb. 11th. |
