Woodswork
successfully achieves an innovative sound by creating original
rock music that incorporates classical violin, three part
harmonies, male and female vocals, and piano. This combination
of talent results in songs that seep out emotion, live shows
that radiate with energy, and a loyal following of fans who
can’t get enough. “Woodswork is doing it right with
a triumphant glowing sound… All of them play with the
pride of lions and their hearts sing with a glow that encompasses
something ineffably pure,” comments Laurin Wollan in
Music Monthly. Woodswork’s
conception began in early 2001 with the break-up of the band
Trading Campus. Two of its members, singer/guitarist Matthew
Ferenschak and violinist Eugene Yun decided to seek out a
new band that could make their musical vision a reality. After one jam session which included Matthew's brother, Greg Ferenschak and Lindsay Kuczinski, Woodswork was born. Woodswork
picked up where Trading Campus left off, building a loyal
college following. Woodwork’s original sound has been
compared to that of the Agents of Good Roots, Fleetwood Mac,
the Dave Matthews Band, and Rusted Root. During shows, Woodswork’s
original material is complemented with popular covers such
as “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” and “For
What it’s Worth.” The band’s fan base continues
to grow--the release party for their CD Life in Dead Trees
drew a crowd of about 600 fans eager to hear them play. The
members of Woodswork are confident that they extended their
fan base on September 21, 2002 when they opened for Howie
Day and Vanessa Carlton at the Towson Center. Woodswork has recently received press in Baltimore papers such as the Towson Towerlight and The Baltimore Sun. “We are excited about the release of our CD and about the press we have been receiving, but we are even more excited that people are enjoying our music. As long as we are making quality music and people are relating to it, we will consider ourselves successful,” explains singer Matthew G. Ferenschak. Along with building a reputation in the Baltimore/D.C. area, Woodswork plans on continuing to take its music to other cities.
