Blackberry Wood is a musical group based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It consists of guitar, vocals, horn section, marching drum, percussion, and electronics. Depending on the event and their line-up, they will also perform with accordion and fiddle.[1][2]
History
[edit]The band was formed in 2006 as a two-piece, consisting of Kris Wood and Corinne CoCo. In 2007, the group expanded to a three-piece, and by the end of that year had become an eight-piece. In 2013 Blackberry Wood replaced the rhythm section (drums and Bass) with a steampunk instrument they call "The Contraption" and trimmed down to a 4 or 5 piece.[3]

A remastered version of Travelling Horse Opry, featuring art from Vancouver artist Jordan Bent was released in May 2010.[4] In 2012 the band released the album Strong Man vs Russian Bears.[5] In 2015 a Halloween EP and a Christmas EP were released. In 2017, they released the album Pagan Circus.[6]
