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