We've been keeping you posted on the progress of longtime Asheville musician Woody Wood's kickstarter campaign to raise $9,000 to produce a new album.
Facebook and Twitter were buzzing today: Would he make it? Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing approach: If the goal wasn't hit, Wood wouldn't get any of the money that was pledged. At around 1:30 p.m., he needed about $800 to make it. As of now, and ahead of schedule, he hit the $9,000 mark. And beyond!
We're thrilled. Wood's a helluva talent, an amazing songwriter, a guitar maniac and the guy lives and breathes music. Congratulations!
