About Wood Belly String Band
Wood Belly String Band is a Fort Collins, Colorado, group led by Chris Weist, a founding member, singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist of the Colorado band Wood Belly. Weist plays with Sam Patterson, Corey Clark and Scott Kwiatek. The band brings Wood Belly's original songs back to the bluegrass they started from and adds new folk-leaning material of its own.
Wood Belly formed in 2015, after Weist met Craig Patterson and Chris Zink at the RockyGrass festival. In 2018 it won the Telluride Bluegrass Festival band competition and released its debut album, Solid Ground. By its 2023 album Cicada the group had added a drummer and moved toward Americana, and the String Band returns to the acoustic sound of those first years.
