Heading Uptown
"For too long, Woody Mann has been one of America's best kept secrets. If there was a category simply called Great Music, Woody's playing would belong there."
-JOHN FAHEY
Woody's incredible fingerstyle technique is perhaps only outdone by his ability to compose and arrange. He eloquently sets perfectly syncopated bass lines against stunning harmonic and melodic phrasing. His roots start in the ragtime blues of Rev. Gary Davis (his first teacher), grow through classical and jazz and ultimately lead to a continually evolving style all his own.
