Wood Brothers headed to Sisters The Wood Brothers have gained a reputation as one of the best live acts touring the country. Their current tour brings them to Sisters on Thursday, January 28, for the first 2016 Winter Concert Series show presented by Sisters Folk Festival at Sisters High School auditorium. Steeped in a songwriting tradition, The Wood Brothers are celebrating their sixth stu- dio album, “Paradise.” T h e Wo o d B r o t h e r s released their debut studio album, “Ways Not To Lose,” on Blue Note Records in 2006. Chris Wood already had legions of devoted fans for his work as one-third of Medeski, Martin & Wood, while his brother Oliver toured with Tinsley Ellis before releasing a half-dozen albums with his band King Johnson.
