Play Chris Batten and… Radio
Chris Batten and The Woods
2,207 plays (622 listeners)
Playing soul music in the truest aspect of the genre, taken for granted by most and deeply treasured by others; The Woods pride themselves on honest music with an even more honest heart. Taking equal parts Stax inspired blue-eyed soul and the song-comes-first brand of rock and roll that burgeoned from it, they mend a natural, authentic sound that harks back to Otis, Springsteen and Thin Lizzy and mingles in the same back alleys as contemporaries such as Wilco, Counting Crows, and The Hold Steady.
The Woods’ latest EP bears the title “If We Never Stop Moving,” a lyric from the band’s semi-autobiographical song “Lions.” However, the title has become more of a battle cry then the mere ending to a verse, as The Woods’ short 3+ year existence has seen them put out a string of musical gems that rival the quality and catchiness of those on popular radio today. “I just want to put out music that’s timeless” Batten says, “With music, there should be no gap, whether it be
age, time or genre. People will like something if it speaks to them and I want to speak to everyone…to build a relationship with our audience, not just a one night stand”.
Batten and the Woods have gone out to support this “relationship” with consistent shows focusing on the tri-state area and a touring history through all major, mid Atlantic markets, playing in front of audiences as big as 7,000+ and opening for national headliners like: Gavin DeGraw, Butch Walker, Dropkick Murphy’s, Pete Yorn, Army of Me, Jesse Malin, Dispatch, Nils Lofgren, Soozie Tyrell, John Eddie.
