Mitch Woods

Mitch Woods is an American boogie-woogie pianist and singer known for his energetic style and joyful performances that channel the spirit of jump blues, swing, and early rock 'n' roll. Often described as a torchbearer of 1940s and '50s rhythm and blues, Woods has carved out a niche with his band, the Rocket 88s, delivering high-octane grooves with vintage flair. His music pays homage to legends like Louis Jordan, Fats Domino, and Wynonie Harris, blending rollicking piano licks with New Orleans-inspired rhythms.

With his infectious energy and deep love for classic American music, Woods continues to keep the boogie alive around the world.
