If you are new to Mitch Woods, this is a great place to start. If you are a long-time fan, you will enjoy visiting these old friends in their new clothing.” – MARK SMITH, WYCE-FM
“Mitch Woods…gives heart and soul to jump blues… Woods sings with smooth ebullience and hammers the piano keys with the unchecked gaiety of mentors Professor Longhair and Amos Milburn.” – FRANK-JOHN HADLEY, DOWNBEAT

ABOUT
Mitch Woods and His Rocket 88s have been the torchbearers of a great American blues musical heritage for four decades. Taking their inspiration from the great jump n’ boogie outfits of the late 40s and early 50s, they breathe fresh life into the music that gave birth to rock n’roll. Woods styled his group after the jumpin’ n’ jivin’, shoutin’ n’ honkin’, pumpin’ n’ poundin’ bands of Louis Jordan, Wynonie Harris, Joe and Jimmy Liggins, Amos Milburn, and Roy Milton. Adding a healthy dose of New Orleans rhythm and blues, piledrivin’ piano, and some of his own contemporary playful lyrics, Woods and His Rocket 88s forge their own brand of music they call “rock-a-boogie.”
Festivals worldwide have enjoyed the Boogie Woogie piano maestro Mitch Woods along with his all-star Rocket 88s, featuring noted players from his two home bases, New Orleans
and San Francisco.
Mitch has also performed solo and led workshops at many festivals as well.
Mitch Woods & his Rocket 88s are available for festivals as well as private parties, corporate events, concerts, and clubs. We will be glad to talk to you about customizing the band for your event requirements, from solo to big band.
Many thanx to all the festivals we played recently!
