“Wood is about as good as it gets if you appreciate the singer/songwriter genre.” – Charlotte Creative Loafing
“Lord have mercy…Wood is a down-home, old-fashioned girl with a wicked streak” — Indie-music.com

Noted lyricist and composer DAVID STODDARD is one of Minnesota/Wisconsin’s most decorated songwriters. Currently living in the snowy wilds of Western Minnesota, he tours sporadically throughout North America and plays mostly concert venues, living rooms, and other dedicated listening environments. You may have heard him play at local venues or festivals, or one of his many appearances on Minnesota Public Radio.
He’s played at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville and at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Kerrville, Texas, and been featured on Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Tent Show Radio.” He has won the Kerrville New Folk award, as well as songwriting awards at the South Florida Folk Festival, the Minnesota Folk Festival, and others. He has shared festival and concert stages with people like Juice Newton, Leon Russell, Rik Emmett, Lou and Peter Berryman, Michael Smith, Pat Donohue, and, now (thoroughly confirming him as a unapologetic name dropper) David Glaser. He was once mistaken for George Winston at a bookstore in Milwaukee. True story- but that guy stuffed a dollar bill into his coffee cup.
