The Wooden Rings Chamber group is a “quieter” but in some ways more intricate version of band Wooden Rings, a progressive folk and rock group playing off-kilter sad-bastard music that is both foreign and familiar. The chamber group, composed of violinist Asa Jackson, upright bassist Gabe Sparrow, vibraphonist Andrew Munger, and Malebranche dig deeply into the mind and the heart, demanding attention and compassion from audiences in ways that leave you with more than you expected to find.
Wooden Rings, the band forms like Voltron when Chicago drummer, Kevin Jensen is added to the mix and pair with the bass.
