Wooden Rings is really excited to play the Lakeview East Festival of the Arts on the main stage at 1:00 pm on 9/11.
By then, we’ll have some stirring new songs to share and will come pregnant with vinyl. We played the festival years ago and I have nothing but fond memories of the event.
You can also hear one of our songs, “A Bell”, on WHCM 88.3 FM in the northwest suburbs on the Local Music Show on Harper Radio. Play rotation will begin on 8/2.

The music starts at 7:00 PM and end before 8:00 PM

The night begins warmly with a potluck at 8:00 PM at Mporium in Champaign.
Opening the night, Wooden Rings will weave lush, original blends of folk and rock from their upcoming full-length vinyl release, Heliocentric. The band is exploring a larger sound in this body of work but not large enough for the small, intimate rooms, where audience are ritualistic about listening.
Closing the night, with the home court advantage, the Mporium Allstars trio will play an eclectic mix of punk, pop, and rock covers from the 60’s forward.

We reached our goal and exceeded our expectations for our campaign with 3Arts Foundation to fund our first full-length vinyl record, Heliocentric!
We can’t thank our friends and family enough for their generosity and care. Check out our donor page and give them hugs at random when you wee them.
In other news: We complete our final vocals in two weeks and give the project away to mix and master at Coda|Room Audio. Once that’s done, we shop around for a company to press our vinyl and argue over the album art. I can’t wait!
Lastly, we are in the process of booking shows all over the midwest. If you know a place that we should play or live somewhere we should visit, especially if we can crash on your couch, hit us up via email.

If you have ever had dinner at Uncommon Ground, you know you’re in for a treat. This is a farm to table restaurant in Edgewater with the only certified organic rooftop farm in the country. One of my favorite parts about this spot is the listening room. Uncommon Ground has a reputation for providing a quality platform for singer-songwriters, jazz musicians, and all sorts of genre bending projects leaning on the softer side.
We want to invite you, your family, and your friends to come have dinner with us at Uncommon Ground on Devon later this month, June 22nd from 8:00pm-10pm. We have some new music for you and some newer takes our favorite tunes. For those that haven’t seen Wooden Rings since before our year long hiatus, we have a couple new members and are stripping back down to our essence – just with some happier songs.

Wooden Rings will be performing with the very nimble jug/folk band, Bones Jugs N Harmony at Feed Arts & Cultural Center in Kankakee, IL on Friday, August 21st at 8:00pm.
Bones Jugs N Harmony is like Frank Zappa un in some Spike Jones, spiced with Looney Tunes playing Nintendo. It’s a ragtime-jugband-calypso-shake-up from Urbana, IL. Wackadoodles.
Openning we have the Kinder Sister. You can hear their vocal amazingness at thekindredsisters.com

We are very excited to play a show with the very talented Honey Watts, a very soulful outfit from Philly. Think Americana and ambient folk dripping with honey.
The other voice for the evening, Wild Orphan, is a poet wielding rich imagery in beautiful lyrical puzzles. Taste one that resonates with our long-upcoming EPs, Heliocentric I & II.
“When darkness
takes
what the light’s
produced
the sun
still outshines
the moon
Yes, the sun
still outshines
the
moon.”-Wild Orphan
