Biography

C.D. Woodbury has performed in Texas Roadhouses and in Stadiums. He has performed for two US Presidents, foreign dignitaries, and Jimi's music for the Hendrix family. He has jammed with jazz legends, international blues stars, and has worked with sidemen to the biggest rock acts. Though he has played many styles, he always returns to the blues and American roots music on his guitar.

In 2009, the C.D. Woodbury Band was formed primarily out of an unrehearsed appearance at the Snohomish Blues Invasion with CD and former members of Tim Casey's back-up band, the Bluescats. The Bluescats were one of the top acts in the region and a top selling act in Europe, including edging Eric Clapton to be the number 1 blues act in Belgium one year somewhere in the mid-2000's. Chris Kliemann, Don Montana, and Mike Fish are a dynamic, tight rhythm section.

In 2010, the Band added sax player and multi-instrumentalist Mike Marinig, who has added a new dimension to the band's sound. The band won the New Band Award at the Washington Blues Society's annual Best of the Blues Awards, and CD won the Electric Guitar award. This was soon followed by a blistering set at Sunbanks Blues Festival, now recorded and available on CD.

In 2011, the WBS gave CD Woodbury the Electric Guitar B.B. Award for the second year in a row. With more festival appearances, radio airplay, and press, the band is gaining attention as rising stars in the NW regional blues scene.

The CD Woodbury Band plays a mixture of new interpretations of old favorites, obscure jems, and original songs.
