Jenny Wood

Truth Has Legs is the brand-new recording from Wichita singer-songwriter Jenny Wood. The collection of songs was inspired by a variety of personal struggles and observations about the world surrounding her over the last few years. Joining Wood on this recording are drummer Will Erickson (Spirit of the Stairs, Team Tremolo), Caleb Drummond (Haymakers) and Thayne Coleman (The Travel Guide).

Wood celebrates the release of her new record, Friday, Sept. 7, at the Crown Uptown.

Will Erickson has played drums in bands such as The Travel Guide, Spirit of the Stairs and Bridegeist, but a few years ago he wanted to see if he could return to another musical love, guitar, and write songs for a project that, at least at first, existed only at his home. That project would eventually become the band Team Tremolo.

Wichita singer-songwriter Jenny Wood’s new CD, Don’t Let Them Get In Your Head, is out this weekend. The vocalist says it’s a strong reflection of who she is as a writer and performer.

Jenny Wood’s known for her high-energy live performances and uncompromising vocals. So, one might be forgiven for thinking that she’d soften her stage approach to accommodate her studio environment. She says producer Scott Spriggs and his father, Wayne, were eager to capture that energy in both audio and visual worlds when made her new album, Don’t Let Them Get in Your Head.

Bullying is a longstanding problem both in schools and out, but one Wichita musician says that she had heard enough about the issue from young people that she decided to do something to change the problem.

Jenny Wood is a Wichita-based songwriter, guitarist and vocalist whose many musical projects include her solo work and fronting The Watchers. She is at work on a new album featuring Katy Guillen and The Girls. On this installment, she discusses her abilities as a whistler.
