Generally associated with hallucinations and dead rats, singer-songwriter and pianist Will Wood
has been described as something of a recluse, quote “because I told my publicist to.” Wood’s
dramatic songwriting is characterized by a sense of humor that whiplashes between too dry to
detect and aggressively absurd, as well as a combination of both intensely emotional and
surrealist lyricism, and his solo performances follow suit. His work has only increased in
popularity since beginning a hiatus after the release of his “musical suicide note” In Case I Make
It, and the Slouching Towards Bethlehem tour is his first time playing live in two years. Will
Wood lives in New Jersey, likes to read, and has three pet rats, named “Snooter Man,” “Mister
Bubbles,” and “Bastard.”
