Grammy Nominated multi-instrumentalist Nate Wood closes out our 10th Anniversary celebration week with an exciting solo show that sees him playing analog synths, drums, bass, guitar and vocals all at once! Tickets for tonight are $20 each in advance, $25 day of show. This show will not be livestreamed.
------------------
The Grammy Nominated multi-instrumentalist has created a project that is a truly ambitious take on going solo. Wood is playing everything — analog synths, drums, bass, guitar and vocals — at the same time! As well, he’s recording every song in one pass with no overdubs, click track or pre-recorded backing tracks. “That’s why it’s called fOUR, because it’s me with four limbs playing four instruments at once.” fOUR veers from complex, space-y prog rock to electronic-tinged instrumentals.
Currently, fOUR has released a number of viral videos on YouTube and Facebook (where some of the clips have topped one million views). fOUR’s first full length record “X.it” was released in the summer 2018, following with a performance on NPRs “Tiny Desk” in January 2019. Since then, fOUR has been touring around the globe with his one man show, most recently opening for Snarky Puppy in support of their new record. Nate Wood - fOUR’s second record was released via GroundUP Music in April of 2023.
“Wood’s brain splits attention between four synthesizers, an electric bass and a drum kit, all while singing about futurism. Wood plays all of fOUR’s tunes in one take. No backing tracks. No overdubs. Nate Wood pulls us into an industrial, neon dystopia with tunes that stand alone as headphone music without the accompanying visuals, meticulously crafted and with precise execution. This isn’t novelty music. You’re hearing (and seeing) a mastermind songwriter and mad scientist at work.”
