The Woodsheep: Check out The Left Cat
Interview conducted at the Purple Fiddle, Thomas, WV, USA August 10, 2019
by Dan Locke
Since The Woodsheep’s inception in the summer of 2015, frontman Andrew Preston’s songwriting – experimental, but rooted in the deepest wellsprings of traditional folk music – and their quirky live shows have become among the most recognizable mainstays of central Appalachia’s burgeoning indie scene. Among their hallmarks: soaring harmonies, offbeat instrumentation, literarily dense lyrics steeped in folk storytelling tradition, all balanced by a healthy penchant for the absurd. With over 600 shows in 4 countries and two full-length records and an EP in only 3 years, Andrew, Melissa, Matt, and lots of friends have spilled over the confines of folk music convention by shoring up their own roots
