{"title":"The CD Woodbury Band","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 2013, the CD Woodbury Band emerged as one of the Pacific Northwest’s most exciting modern blues acts with the release of their studio debut album Monday Night!. Led by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter CD Woodbury, the band had already built a reputation in regional clubs and festivals as a tight, high-energy ensemble blending traditional blues roots with rock, funk, jazz, and R\u0026amp;B influences. Often described by fans and fellow musicians as “the Northwest’s best-kept secret,” the group’s first studio recording helped bring their distinctive sound to a much wider audience. The Monday Night! lineup featured CD Woodbury on guitar and vocals alongside Chris Kliemann on keyboards, Mike Fish on bass, Don Montana on drums, and Mike Marinig on saxophone and lead vocals. Together they created a rich, groove-driven sound that combined powerful guitar work, soulful horn lines, and dynamic rhythm playing. The album’s ten original tracks showcased the band’s versatility—from Texas-style shuffles and slow blues to funky grooves and R\u0026amp;B-infused numbers—while highlighting Woodbury’s expressive guitar style and the band’s strong ensemble chemistry. Monday Night! quickly gained traction on blues and independent radio, eventually reaching #1 on the Roots Music Report’s Washington State independent radio chart for 30 weeks and peaking at #8 on the international independent blues chart. The album helped establish the CD Woodbury Band as a rising force in contemporary blues and marked a turning point in Woodbury’s career from respected sideman to acclaimed bandleader and songwriter.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-cd-woodbury-band-monday-night-cd","title":"The CD Woodbury Band - Monday Night!
