ZYDECO BLANCO
Larry Woods
up in Fort Worth, Texas. He began playing guitar
and writing songs at the age of fourteen. After
graduating from high school he moved to Dallas
to play with a country cover band, doing gigs
around town and a few road shows. In Dallas,
Larry met his wife Stacia, also a
singer-songwriter, and they performed together
as a duo at clubs like The Balcony Club, Club
Dada, and The Sons of Herman Hall. In 1996
Larry and family moved to Blanco County in the
Texas hill country. There Larry formed the
original rock band Jamadillo with Dallas friend
Brandon Aly, and bass player Steve Lamphier. In
1998, Brandon and Steve began playing in
Zydeco Blanco with Leif Oines and Harvey Trahan.
Larry, after catching the zydeco bug at a Boozoo
Chavis show, asked if he could be in Zydeco
Blanco as well. Larry rounds out the band with
rhythm and lead guitar, including slide riffs on
electric dobro. Larry also helps out writing songs
such as the crowd-pleaser "Even Cowboys (Like
Zydeco)".
