The story

Named after a temp apartment

Our journey began in 2000 when we met working in Corning, NY. Woodsedge comes from the temp apartments where our families lived. Since then, life's taken us across the world.

Now older (maybe wiser), we play the music and tell the stories that shaped us. Woodsedge is an acoustic time machine to the '70s, '80s and '90s, with originals mixed in about the places we've lived, from New York to Tokyo to the Carolinas to the Savannah Lowcountry. Sing along, dance a little, and come along for the ride.

We play two- to three-hour sets, weekdays or weekends, any kind of event, and we don't keep a dime. The venue picks a community charity and the night's proceeds go there.
