Hacksaw Americana
Originally from Detroit and now residing in Tampa, Florida, S.G.Wood is an award winning Singer-Songwriter who discribes his music as "Hacksaw Americana". Cutting through lifes rough edges getting to the heart of the matter, he shares what he's learned along the way using his tools, old guitars, amps and a well seasoned voice. His playing style is both aggressive and gentle drawing inspiration from Classic Country, Rock and Folk to create a unique musical style that is both singable and memorable.
S.G. grew up in a house filled with music. His Dad had a show on WJR radio for several years and brought records home of everything from Broadway Musicals to Be Bop Jazz with some Country and Folk music thrown in for good measure. Pulling his moms old Harmony guitar out from under her bed, he taught himself how to play listening to The Beatles, Neil Young and Bob Dylan to name a few. Songwriting was the next step which he took, and that is the path he's been on ever since.
Honing his skills as a guitar picker and songwriter in the critically acclamed Americana band The Hummingbirds, S.G.'s songs can be heard in several movies, and has opened shows for Paul Thorn, Sun Volt, Dave Alvin, Jim Lauderdale, Sunny Sweeny and The Kentucky Headhunters to name a few.
Whether playing intimate solo shows or rocking electric with his rough and tumble band GatorTooth, S.G. is excited for the release of his new album, "Dude Waters" due out this summer. Be on the lookout for it as well as tour dates in a town near you!
