Wooden Minds is a few of guys who get together on the weekends to expel our energies into playing the music from our soul.  We enjoy a wide array of music, and this helps us drive the creative aspects of our originals.  Time is limited so we make rough drafts in hopes of coming back to rerecord or finalize someday in the future. We like to conceive songs on the fly, and most of what you hear is first time played (literally), and recorded live on the spot.  We enjoy trying grasp the bits of creative stew in our minds and soul while apart, and when we are able to enjoy the company we try and talk it over briefly then dive right in.  The roughness, off time, and untreated (no EFX) recording approach is what we strive for: music in it's purity, raw, friendly, and non egotistic manner.  We would love to play out, or even be able to find other musicians who believe in the music we play, but for now we are content in just playing music as an art, and an escape.  The name Wooden Minds, formerly Dirty George (named from hacking the nicknames of bandmates), is derived from Emerson's thoughts on art and man.  Straight forward and simple.
We hope you enjoy our sounds, vibe, and effort.

New Multitudes is an intimate interpretation of American icon and musical legend Woody Guthrie’s previously unrecorded lyrics from a dream team of Americana torchbearers: Jay Farrar (Son Volt), Will Johnson (Centro-matic), Anders Parker (Varnaline), and Yim Yames (My Morning Jacket). What makes this album such a rarity in today’s music world is the allowance of the songs’ infectious simplicity to stand alone in all their glory. In doing so, Farrar, Johnson, Parker, and Yames have paid the greatest compliment to Woody Guthrie and the collaborative spirit he so greatly embodied. This is an album which seamlessly converges the sepia-toned essence of the time honored past with the risks needed to forge the future.

MP McCulloch is from St. Louis Missouri, a place he still calls home. In typical Midwestern DIY fashion, he writes and records his songs himself, playing guitar, bass, banjo, and whatever other instrument a particular song may require. Drawing on a wide range of musical genres he has created an original sound that is often hard to pin down yet remains accessible. His lyrics are well written, honest and obviously very carefully crafted. McCulloch is a songwriter that is definitely worth a listen.

Alt-country/Americana singer/songwriter. Horribly depressing songs sung in a positive, upbeat manner.

Avenues is a folk music/production project, founded on the fall 2012 by two minds who decided to understand and narrate the life with their stories and timbres…

Biography
The Lonesome Southern Comfort Company was founded in 2006 as solo-project of John Robbiani (guitar, vocals and history enthusiast).
The solo part became less lonesome when John decided to rent a studio, gather some friends and label-mates (including Peter Kernel, Lake Nation and Far from the Madding Crowd) and hit rec. Giving birth to the first self-titled album “Lonesome Southern Comfort Company” (published in August 2008, On The Camper Records). A country-folk rush just in time for a political “outing” a couple of months before the 2008 U.S. elections. After-which, as all structures take form, LSCC completed itself with the arrival of Duke (drums), Abraham (guitar) and Boris (viola).
In 2010 LSCC released “Charles The Bold” – a combination of alternative-americana-indie-rock and history. The album was inspired by Charles le Téméraire, duke of Burgundy and his battles against the Swiss in 1477 (sound cool? well it is.). With this album the band began touring Europe seriously and matured into an acid-psychedelic live performance. 
Now, this Autumn: “The Big Hunt”. The release is scheduled for September 30th 2013 in Europe (October 30th 2013 in the UK). The new 9-track album is a combination of alternative-country folk with electronic influences. Loyal history traveling through the air with recorded memoirs and daring tales. 

LSCC will be touring “The Big Hunt” this fall across Europe (Spain, France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and in February they’ll hit the UK for the first time. Beware.
