The Wood Brothers - A New Chapter on the All Good Journey

The Wood Brothers Return — A New Chapter in a Beloved All Good Journey

At All Good Now 2026, we’re celebrating the return of one of the most soulful and enduring acts to ever grace our stages: The Wood Brothers.

For our community, The Wood Brothers aren’t just another artist on the lineup. Their appearances over the years have delivered some of the most heartfelt, groove-driven, and quietly powerful sets in All Good history.

Dubbed “masters of soulful folk” by Paste, the band formed after brothers Chris and Oliver Wood spent 15 years on separate musical paths — Chris earning devoted acclaim as one-third of Medeski Martin & Wood, and Oliver building a loyal following with King Johnson.

With drummer Jano Rix joining as a permanent third member, the group has evolved into one of roots music’s most revered acts — blending blues, folk, gospel, and improvisation into a sound entirely their own.

A Lasting All Good Connection

The Wood Brothers first joined us at the All Good Music Festival  in 2008, returning again in 2012 with performances that highlighted their deep musical connection and understated intensity.

They’ve remained an essential part of the extended All Good Trifesta family, including a memorable appearance at the 4848 Festival in 2022.

Across the years, their performances have embodied the authentic, grounded spirit that defines the All Good experience — and within the Trifesta, that spirit only continues to grow.

The Next Chapter: The Wood Brothers

Now in 2026, The Wood Brothers return with a catalog that spans nine studio albums and continues to evolve. With their forthcoming release, Puff of Smoke, arriving August 1, they bring both new songs and a deep well of material that reflects decades of musical exploration and collaboration.

Three appearances.
Years of soulful, boundary-crossing music.
And another unforgettable chapter waiting to unfold.

We’re honored to welcome The Wood Brothers back to the All Good Now Festival 2026.

All Good Now — The Second Stop in the Trifesta & A Two-Stage Experience Like No Other

As the second stop in the All Good Trifesta, All Good Now captures the spirit of what makes this journey so special: connection, flow, and a shared musical experience from start to finish.

No overlapping sets. No tough choices. Just music — the way it’s meant to be. Every artist has the space to shine, and every fan gets to be fully present — flowing between the Pavilion and the Chrysalis stages, surrounded by Merriweather magic.

Two stages. 8 sets every day. One continuous musical journey.

Built on celebration, kindness, and community, the All Good Trifesta experience extends beyond the music. Fans are met with Razzle Dazzle, adding joy and memories to the day’s festivities.

And with a touch of magic, The Amazing Giants bring their unique brand of theatrical artistry, elevating the atmosphere and delighting audiences of all ages with their stilt walking, fire spinning, and aerialist performances.
