Well, there really isn't a band. (Not that I wouldn't love to have one.) Right now it is just me and my guitar. I am kind of having fun with that. I play western music, mostly, and a little classic country.Band/artist history
Born and raised in Southern New Mexico, Laurie Wood started playing guitar when she was sixteen. After playing in at least a dozen different country bands over as many years she grew disillusioned with the music and the lifestyle, finally quitting music altogether. Now, more than 15 years later, Laurie has felt the call to dust off her guitar, and is playing the music that speaks to her rural agricultural roots. She says she played Top Forty Country for money, but it was always Western music and Cowboy songs that she played for friends, family, and herself. She calls Wyoming home these days, along with husband Duane, who is the cow/calf manager on CSUs One Bar Eleven ranch near Encampment. They have two children, Cora Rose, 5 (who you will often see on stage with Laurie), and Bonner, 3.
Laurie has performed at the Sagebrush Cowboyography Poetry and Music Gathering in Sheridan, WY; the Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering in Encampment, WY; the Riverton, WY Cowboy Roundup; and the Durango Cowboy Gathering in Durango, CO. She is a member of the Cowboy Poets of the Wind River and the Western Music Association, and serves as Treasurer for the Grand Encampment Cowboy Gathering Outfit as well as President of the Snowy Range Cattle Women.Have you performed in front of an audience?All I do is play live. Moslty at cowboy gatherings, parties, and just about anywhere they will let me. Once in a while I even get paid.
