Woody and the Boilers play a variety of rockin' boogie
woogie blues. We can whip out classic R&B, blues, soul,
jazz, a little swing, and even throw in some country, surf, or
a
Cajun
stomp for fun!
Beginning
in '91 as the house band for 2 years at the Icehouse blues jam
in Reno, Guitar Woody & the Boilers, have gone on to open
concerts for national blues/boogie recording acts such as: John
Lee Hooker, Little Charlie & the Nightcats,
Tinsley Ellis, Debbie
Davies, Roy
Rogers & the Delta Rhythm Kings,
Commander Cody & the Lost Planet Airmen, The
Paladins, The
Sundogs, Elvin
Bishop, Charlie
Musslewhite, Joe
Louis Walker & the Bosstalkers, Magic Slim & the
Teardrops, and
Savoy Brown, . . .
And
all to rave reviews.
They
played the grand opening of the Wingfield Park Amphitheater in
Reno, smoked at the St. Patty’s Day 2000 at Rapscallion,
rocked a “Rollin on the River” concert in
July

performed under the downtown Reno arch for Reno's 125th year
birthday celebration, exploded for Skyfire 98, opened for
Steppenwolf &
Queen
Ida at the Harley Street Vibrations,
smoked
the Rib Cook-off, commanded the Plumas co. Ski Club's
Snowball Festival dances, the Cal-Neva Lodge new year's
parties, a Boomtown new year's bash, the Winter
Celebrity
Olympics awards banquet at the resort on squaw creek,
and packed the dance floor at annual Incline Village
Christmas parties where they also performed with members of
Credence Clearwater

The
band has also donated their talents to Easter seals' events
and to the Reno Blues Society to help raise money for Special
Olympics and Cystic Fibrosis. Along with making weddings and
parties memorable, they also regularly perform in the northern
Nevada area. Recommended for their variety and adaptability,
Guitar Woody & the Boilers, are, tight & bluesy, laid
back or straight ahead,
get down, funkified band that’ll make
you boogie, laugh and shout for more. Make sure not to miss this premier band from Reno, coming to
