18-SHOW RUN TO HIT SOUTHEAST AND MIDWEST IN NOVEMBER, NORTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC IN DECEMBER
SUPPORTING LATEST ALBUM PUFF OF SMOKE AND CELEBRATING 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF DEBUT ALBUM, WAYS NOT TO LOSE
August 11, 2026 – The Wood Brothers have announced Fall 2026 tour dates. The 18-show run will make stops in the Southeast and Midwest in November and the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic in December.
Artist pre-sales begin Wednesday, August 12, at 10 a.m. local time, with the general on-sale scheduled for Friday, August 14, at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour supports The Wood Brothers’ latest album, Puff of Smoke, which received critical acclaim from Uncut, Relix, The Bluegrass Situation, and DownBeat, among others, with MOJO praising its “restless music mix that’s unpredictable and big on swing,” and Rolling Stone declaring, “from mesmerizing performances at festivals to their eclectic new album Puff of Smoke, the roots-rock band remains proudly hard to categorize.” The band is also celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut album, Ways Not to Lose, which was issued on vinyl for the first time by Blue Note Records in March.
The Wood Brothers have once again partnered with American Friends of Canadian Conservation so that $1 per ticket sold will go toward The Nature Trust of British Columbia (NTBC). These funds will support the NTBC’s conservation of ecologically rich wetlands and protect irreplaceable land from development. Every $1 donated through ticket sales will be matched with $2 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Amelia Day will support on the Midwest leg of the tour, while Tyler Ramsey will join as support for the Northeast dates.

About The Wood Brothers:
Brothers Chris Wood and Oliver Wood initially pursued separate musical careers before coming together as The Wood Brothers. Chris was revered for his incomparable work as one-third of Medeski Martin & Wood, while Oliver’s band King Johnson built a loyal following in the South. With the addition of Jano Rix as a permanent third member, The Wood Brothers lineup was solidified.
Two decades since the release of their debut album, Ways Not To Lose (2006), The Wood Brothers have cemented their reputation as freethinking songwriters, road warriors, and community builders, creating a catalog of diverse music and a loyal audience that has grown alongside them over the years. They’ve offered a prolific flow of creative output while maintaining a zealous commitment to bringing their electrifying live performances to fans across North America and Europe. As fans who join them night after night, singing along to classics like “Luckiest Man,” “Postcards From Hell,” “Happiness Jones,” and more will attest, The Wood Brothers are among the most enduring and beloved bands of their time.
