C.D. Woobury Band At Starday Tavern; Dec. 7th

CD Woodbury Band - photo by Rocky AllenC.D. Woodbury has performed in Texas Roadhouses and in Stadiums. He has performed for two US Presidents, foreign dignitaries, and Jimi’s music for the Hendrix family. He has jammed with jazz legends, international blues stars, and has worked with sidemen to the biggest rock acts. Yet, he still remains “the Northwest’s best-kept secret”. Though he has played many styles, he always returns to the blues and American roots music on his guitar.

In 2009, the C.D. Woodbury Band was formed primarily out of an unrehearsed appearance at the Snohomish Blues Invasion with CD and former members of Tim Casey’s back-up band, the Bluescats. This was soon followed by a blistering set at Sunbanks Blues Festival.  The Bluescats were one of the top acts in the region and a top selling act in Europe, including edging Eric Clapton to be the number 1 blues act in Belgium one year somewhere in the mid-2000’s. In 2010 they were presented a B.B. Award by the Washington Blues Society in 2010 as Best New Act and have since released two stellar recordings, including the latest, Monday Night! The band was also honored to receive the B.B. Award for Best New Band by the Washington Blues Society, and CD Woodbury was awarded Best Electric Guitar.

The CD Woodbury Band plays a mixture of new interpretations of old favorites, obscure gems, and original songs. Chris Kliemann, Don Montana, and Mike Fish are a dynamic, tight rhythm section. In 2010, the Band added sax player and multi-instrumentalist Mike Marinig, who has added a new dimension to the band’s sound.

The band will be making an all too rare appearance in Portland on Saturday, December 7th at The Starday Tavern, 6517 SE Foster Rd. for a 9:00 pm show. Don’t miss out on this Seattle-based band as they have the goods to be The next big thing out of the Northwest!
