   About The Wild Wood
The music of The Wild Wood is a fresh blend of superbly satisfying folk music influenced by the diverse backgrounds of three quirky, fun, and talented multi-instrumentalists. Collaborations with many other musical friends are also common. The Wild Wood has been known to wander through a twisted forest of completely improvised musical mayhem, then perhaps follow with their own lovely arrangement of a traditional folk song or fiddle tune. With The Wild Wood you can never know quite what to expect--but you're always guaranteed a wonderful listening experience... In addition to performing, all three trio members are devoted string educators and all are pursuing music education in the nation's number one ranked school for their discipline, Michigan State University. The Wild Wood Band hopes to preserve and promote traditional music and infect as many fellow musicians as possible with the folk music bug! The Wild Wood Band is available for performances in a number of venues as well as workshops, clinics, and residencies with string classes of all ages. Send us a message!

So I heard this rumor that you guys were "amazing," so I came here to check you out. Since I don't know any of you nor have I heard you play or played with you, I found you music to truly be, Amazing!

Eli, Kelly, Cori - I just wanted to let you know how cool it is how you all work with Fiddlers ReStrung. Thursday's concert was a ton of fun (I had a blast!), and it's great how you all spend your time helping those high-schoolers learn and enjoy music. It's a great program and I'm hoping to hear them again sometime. And perhaps someday there can be a TOV-with-fiddles collaboration? :)

Have a great week, see you all around. - Lisa

I think you all should come to Boston for thanksgiving, and we could pull the many bostonian fiddlers together and create an amazing intensive explosion of FIDDLE and it wouldn't be weird at all! :)

Hey guys!

I'm speaking for Jo who's having the time of her life in Costa Rica. All's well with us right now. My life seems to be coming together in Nashville with the new band and I love it there. What's new with you guys? How's school?

Hey, how's it going???

I just noticed that some of the guys from my band were sending out myspace messages about our upcoming show in Lansing. I'm not sure if they realize that you're all friends of mine, so... just in case any of you got a message that seems slightly impersonal (though we always try to make them personal) that's what it's all about.

Wow, I need to get some sleep.

Anyway! See you all in orchestra. :) Talk to you later - Lisa K.

Hello Again!

Another school year ready to begin... only down south that is.

I am in Atlanta, Ga at Clayton County Public Schools teaching orchestra. I mentioned that your group performed a workshop at the school I was at.

My mentors would like to know if you are interested in performing a concert for money. There are two very nice places- the Performing Arts Center (PAC) which seats over 1200 and Spivey Hall (where Joshua Bell, Bela Fleck, and a among others have played). Spivey is a smaller venue with great accoustics. Our students would be willing to pay $/ticket and open the concert up to the public. Since I have told them about you all, they are geeked!

Please consider ATL when you travel.

Good luck this year- may you be blessed with the gift of sharing your AWEsome music!

You guys have amazing talent! (I met Cori at MSU a few years back...)

Wishing you all the best in your futures, careers, your lives.

After I move from MICH, hopeuflly will contact you to get your group down here for a series of shows. Let me know if you all are interested.
