Singer-songwriter Woody Woodburn from Rockwood, ON with Cape Breton roots is following his passion for music after leaving his job at 44 in 2019 to become a "Better Man Today" - a fine title for his debut EP.
Hot off the heels of successfully hosting/organizing 3 drive-in concerts during a pandemic where he opened for longtime idol Jim Cuddy, receiving his first FACTOR grant, and multiple successful tours in the Maritimes, Woody has set out to level up and plow through on his positivity train and bring along any passengers looking to go on this ride.
The first single from Woody’s next EP, “I Am Enough” is releasing this Friday, January 22nd with a music video and a celebratory livestream at 7 pm ET.
Tune in via Facebook or YouTube for music, prizes and get to know Woody Woodburn!
