Mitch Woods has been the torchbearer of a great American blues musical heritage for three decades. Taking his inspiration from the great jump n' boogie outfits of the late 40s and early 50s, Mitch breathes fresh life into the music that gave birth to rock n'roll. Woods styled his group after the jumpin' n' jivin' bands of Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Amos Milburn, and Professor Longhair, adding a healthy dose of New Orleans R&B, pile-drivin' piano, and Woods' own playful lyrics, they call "rock-a-boogie."
