Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Brothers Oliver and Chris Wood grew up immersed in American folk music. But as adult musicians, each pursued a different direction — one playing Southern music, the other playing avant-garde jazz with the internationally-acclaimed trio Medeski Martin & Wood. Now The Wood Brothers are back together. They join Kojo for a live in-studio performance, and tell us how family, roots music and a vintage guitar spurred their latest project.
Guests
- Oliver Wood Vocals/ Guitar, The Wood Brothers
