The Deep Woods Band was formed in the winter of 1999-00 by a group of mid-valley musicians whose goal was to play the kind of music they loved and didn't get to see locally. With influences as diverse as The Rolling Stones, The Holy Modal Rounders, The Grateful Dead, Mingus, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Ray Charles, and The Mugwumps, they are difficult to pidgeonhole, but nothing short of an experience to see and hear.

As the band has evolved over the last 5 years, they have been heading down the road paved by more well known jam bands such as The Dead, String Cheese Incident, and Widespread Panic. The setlist is always in flux, and on any given night you may hear a psychedelic version of Jim Reeves' "Room Full Of Roses" followed by the band's latest original song, a commentary on today's world; "Everything Works If You Let It". They are known for their extended Coltrane-inspired versions of old favorites such as Donovan's "Season Of The Witch" and

Disney's "Zip A Dee Doo Da".

The gruff, blues-tinged vocals & guitar stylings of the apparent leader, Bobby Shade,Don Cruse twisting of the keyboard, the howling harmonica of The Rev. A. J.Studly. The guitar pyrotechnics of Matt Royston, from shimmering slide work to pounding blues the Mattbroiler keeps it cooking. Add to this mix drummer B.G. Shade with all this underpined by the everpresent Issac Jones on bass.
