Generally associated with hallucinations and dead rats, singer-songwriter and pianist Will Wood has been described as something of a recluse, quote “because I told my publicist to.” Wood’s dramatic songwriting is characterized by a sense of humor that whiplashes between too dry to detect and aggressively absurd, as well as a combination of both intensely emotional and surrealist lyricism, and his solo performances follow suit. His work has only increased in popularity since beginning a hiatus after the release of his “musical suicide note” In Case I Make It, and the Slouching Towards Bethlehem tour is his first time playing live in two years. Will Wood lives in New Jersey, likes to read, and has three pet rats, named “Snooter Man,” “Mister Bubbles,” and “Bastard.”
