Wednesday, July 17 – The Wendy Woo Band
The Wendy Woo Band loves performing catchy, upbeat songs that get everyone of all ages up and dancing! From the pop rock sound of “Out of My Head Over You” to the acoustic rock feel of “Down and Dirty,” a song that demonstrates Wendy’s ability to tap on her guitar in a rhythmic way, their shows are not one to miss. The Wendy Woo Band has the versatility to play any show as a five piece or down to a single player, Wendy Woo. A duo is formed with Wendy and Robin Hoch or a trio with Wendy, David Derby and Mitch DeZwarte. These five can come together or another member can be added for a five piece. This is possible because of the musicianship of the band’s members. Wendy plays acoustic and electric guitars, Robin plays viola and guitar, David plays drums, percussion, Chris plays rhythm guitar, bass and drums, and Mitch plays bass, guitar and keyboards.
