"We're booked through Sep-
tember," Woosley said. "We have no
openings. If I'm not playing a show,
I'm taking a motorcycle trip."
He's staying busy in between
gigs and his job at the Pepsi plant in
Corvallis, he said.
"I've been busking a lot lately
in Eugene and Salem."
He's scheduled to play Satur-
day, Sept. 2, at The Point restaurant,
where he performed to a capacity-
audience show early in The Point's
new (this year) concert summer
series on June 9. He also has ap-
peared at some wineries, weddings
and festivals around the state.
Woosley's band includes long-
time collaborators Tim Meyers on
the harmonica, vocals and guitar;
Chuck Fitzsimons on the bass; and
Charlie Fitzsimons on the drums.
They recorded the new album at
The Castle House in Lebanon. Nate
Roos produced and mixed the al-
bum and played a guitar solo on
one track.
It's really the band's first CD,
Woosley said. "The last CD we did,
'From the Mountains to the Sea,'
which is also available everywhere,
that CD was flesh songs. We were
excited. We recorded them at
home."
The band mainly recorded it
for friends and family and used it as
a demo to book gigs, Woosley said.
]'he new album features seven new
recordings, but they're the band's
defining sound.
"Some of these songs are 10
years old," Woosley said. "The rea-
son we have a following is some of
the songs on this CD.
"We went in there with the
idea of him just miccing us up and
capturing what we already had,"
Woosley said. "We had a really

strong idea of what we wanted it to
sound like."
Recording live in separate
rooms, recorded all seven songs
over three days with minimal over-
dubs and tracking afterward, Woos-
ley said. Overall, the album is more
professional than the group's first
album. "I'd say it's a lot more re-
fined."
Woosley, 29, graduated from
Sweet Home High School in 2006.
In the eighth grade, he and
Sweet Home Junior High classmate
Charlie Fitzsimons had a pop-punk
band, playing Blink 182-style music
with Mike Webster, Woosley said.
They made a CD, sold it at the junior
high and bought a drum kit.
"Me and Charlie went on to play
old country with his dad (Chuck),"
Woosley said in a 2010 interview.
Webster went on to play metal.
"Chuck has brought out our ac-
tual style that we like playing, like
taking Merle Haggard and doubling
the tempo."
They went on to different
things, playing with Chuck Fitzsi-
mons as a summer project.
Woosley and Charlie Fitzsi-
mons have played all kinds of mu-
sic, ranging from emo and punk
to metal and techno, for 10 years,
Woosley said.
"We spent years trying to fig-
ure out our niche."
They've found it, Woosley said.
The new album continues the sing-
er-songwriter, folk and Americana
style the group recorded in its pre-
vious album.
