An award-winning bluegrass band inspired by the traditional as well as the unconventional, The
Wooks have established a distinctive sound through original songwriting, exceptional
musicianship, and outside influences ranging from jam bands to Southern rock. Their
exhilarating third album, Flyin’ High, offers a refreshed lineup of the group, even though its
members have been crossing paths with each other at music festivals for years.
“I'm proud of the quality of words, especially from the guys in the band, because they didn't
really share their songs with me until we started working on this album,” says CJ Cain, one of
the band’s founders. “Everybody goes through that process where they start writing songs and
then they take the leap of like playing them for someone else. I love the songs that I wrote on it,
but I'm very pleased with their level of writing, too, particularly because they're younger than
me. It’s pretty inspiring to see.”
As the band’s guitarist and one of its three lead singers, Cain has kept his home base in
Lexington, Kentucky, throughout the evolution of the Wooks, which started as a low-key duo in
2014. The lineup now includes Harry Clark on mandolin and vocals, George Guthrie on banjo
and vocals, and Allen Cooke on Dobro, with the latter three musicians based in Nashville. A few
different bass players stay in rotation on the road, filling out the ensemble’s driving sound.
