Say What?

Mark your calendars, Raleigh.

On Thursday, August 29, 2025 at 7 PM, we’re stepping into something special—and we want you there with us.

We’re thrilled to be headlining a unique evening of Poetry, Music, and Beer at Raleigh Brewing on Neil Street. It’s a $10 donation at the door, and every bit of that goes toward supporting local art and independent expression. No middlemen. No big stages. Just real people making real things.

We’ll be joining forces with some incredible artists for a night of intentional, genre-blurring creativity:

Anna Weaver will open the evening with live poetry—raw, thoughtful, and beautifully grounded.

Poet, Anna Weaver

Living Earth Ensemble and Laketown Riots will bring their own sonic landscapes to life, each offering a distinct voice that reflects the soul of our region.

Dmitri Glover is the mind behind Laketown Riots. This is the cover of Tyke, his 2022 release.

And then it’s us—Wooden Rings—bringing songs that live, combining folk intimacy, experimental sound, and emotional storytelling. This isn’t just a set for us—it’s a conversation with the room, with our fellow artists, and with you.

Considering it? Good!
Because it’s an evening of community. Of presence. Of poetry backed by melody and melody backed by meaning—all washed down with some of the best craft beer in the Triangle. But let’s be real, it’s indoors in Raleigh in the heat of August. It’s probably not safe for you to be anywhere else, lest you tempt heatstroke.

Bring your friends. Bring your mind. Drink plenty of water with your beer.

We’ll bring the rest.

Wooden Rings & Mporium Allstars

Wooden Rings & Mporium Allstars Friday, November 22, 2019 at 8 PM – 12 AM Mporium [Message for location] 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. woodenringsmusic.com Facebook Event

In June

This image was captured from a music video Wooden Rings is producing for a song called, In June. The lyrics start us in the dark winter apartment in Chicago. It’s the type of winter that holds you hostage in your apartment, studying the drab walls, drinking too much, sick from cabin fever.

In that state, my mind is hypersensitive to sounds, like the sharp cracks and resonant metal screams of radiators in the lead-draped apartments I could afford. They found their way on this record. The music then shifts into nostalgia- longing for the tropics, vivid fruit and loving family, for the warm sun and the god in my grandfather’s garden. When my grandfather passed away, I was able to go home and taste it all again, laying him to rest.

This song will open our first new full length record, Heliocentric. Help us press it to vinyl bust supporting up here and sharing this post with friends and family. https://3arts.org/projects/heliocentric/

Thanks for making the leap,
