Mitch Woods finds
himself in the
middle of the current swing and jump blues revival but no one could
accuse him of hopping on
-
The bandwagon as he has been pumping the piano for over 20 years in
the Bay area, calling his music "rock-a-boogie" due to its
combination of R&B, swing, boogie woogie and early rock 'n' roll.
Mitch has become a modern master of the eighty-eights. Quick to distance
himself from nostalgia seekers who only wish to mimic the legends of the
past like Louis Jordan, Jimmy Liggins, Roy Milton, Louis Prima and Wynonie Harris, Mitch is determined to take the music forward in his
own creative way. With wry vocals and the thunderous chops that inspired
Jimmy Liggins to tag him as "Mr. Rocket 88," he is claiming
new artistic ground for himself with each successive release on Blind
Pig Records.
