Willodean is an Austin-based trio that combines indie-rock, power-pop, and American roots music with beautiful string arrangements and impeccable musicianship. Their music echoes the melodic smarts of Sufjan Stevens and packs the instrumental punch of a band like Wilco.  

Their first EP released, Awesome Life Decisions: Side One showcased the band’s appreciation for pop melodies and guitar muscle, and their second, Fires, Cars, and Autumn Stars took a modern approach to Americana-tinged ballads. On Life & Limbo, Willodean incorporates beautifully lush string and horn arrangements that make their music feel especially soundtrack-worthy. Now with Awesome Life Decisions: Side Two the band brings all of their influences together. Produced by bassist Eric Holden and recorded in-house, the EP will be released by Holden's label, Bigger Better More Records later this year.

Everything Will Be Okay

After releasing 4 EPs (28 songs!) in 2017 Willodean is back with a collection that shows off their love of pop music taking 7 classic songs in unexpected directions. From a dark take on Henry Glover's (Rivieras / The Ramones) oldie California Sun to an acoustic treatment of George Michael's Praying For Time. The record includes songs from INXS, The Beatles, Nick Drake, Pearl Jam & Phil Collins. 

All of their own music is written by Wooten & produced by bassist Eric Holden, recorded in-house at Holden’s studio and released by their own label, Bigger Better More Records. In many ways, Willodean is a continuation of the partnership Holden and Wooten kicked off a decade ago, when the two formed Cheap Lullaby Records. Starting with their band at the time, The Bloody Lovelies, they went on to sign more than a dozen acts and release over 35 records for artists such as The BellRays, Joan As Police Woman, The Silver Seas, Ivan & Alyosha, Ane Brun, Teitur, Gus Black, Josh Ottum, Kathryn Williams, Robin McKelle, and David Mead. The guys have turned a new corner with Willodean, blending their modern DIY production aesthetic and smart, lyric-based songwriting with singer Abbie Huxley’s Tennessee grit.
