There is something special about three voices finding the same place at the same time.
The Woods bring the kind of sound that feels like it has traveled a few backroads before finding its way home — rich three-part harmony, ringing guitars, thoughtful songwriting, and just enough Nashville polish to make you lean in a little closer.
Made up of Dan O’Rourke, Raquel Cole, and Leland Rooney, The Woods pull from the golden age of harmony-driven folk rock — think the warmth of The Eagles and the chemistry of Fleetwood Mac — then carry that sound forward with modern country storytelling and songs of their own.
Their debut single, “World’s On Fire,” climbed into the Top 50 on the Music Row Country Breakout Chart. They’ve toured arenas with Tim McGraw, earned attention from NPR and Billboard, and worked with Grammy-winning producer Blake Chancey, known for his work with The Chicks and Little Big Town.
But what may matter most is this: The Woods are a real band.
They play together. They write together. They stand in the same room and sing those harmonies together — three voices sharing the same air.
You can hear it.
That human element runs through songs like “Make It Easy” and the soulful “My People, My Tribe” — music built around friendship, belonging, wandering, and finding the people who feel like home.
And that feels just right for Wayfarer.
This is the kind of band the Velvet Room was made for — close enough to hear the guitars breathe, close enough to watch the harmonies lock together, and intimate enough to feel like you stumbled onto something Nashville usually keeps for itself.
