Event Description: Woody Holler hits the road with his yodeling western swing orchestra. Woody Holler grew up hearing the songs of the cowboy. Although he was later trained in opera, a sense of belonging and nostalgia held him close to the early Western genre. Influenced by the crooning styles of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers as well as the rustic blue yodeling of Jimmy Rodgers and danceable swing of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, he developed his lyric yodel on the wide-open spaces of the Canadian Prairie. Woody Holler's orchestra consists of Winnipeg's finest folk/jazz musicians creating a western swing style that Woody defines as "jazz from the saddle". Richard Moody on violin, Greg Lowe on guitar and Daniel Koulack on double bass add clever arrangements that are rich with virtuosity and style. The repertoire is eclectic, fun and fascinating, featuring finger-snapping swing beats, honey-slowed love croons, and show stopping "extreme” yodeling. Woody Holler was nominated for the 2010 Canadian Folk Music Awards as Traditional Vocalist of the Year. Since 1996, Woody has also been an opera singer and performs under the name Darryl Brunger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTx-CvCc_Nw
