The Wood Brothers will return to Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium on March 5th, 2026, marking their fifth headlining appearance at the Mother Church of Country Music.
The Grammy-nominated trio—Oliver Wood, Chris Wood, and Jano Rix—will perform in support of their acclaimed new studio album, Puff of Smoke, while also celebrating the 20th anniversary of their debut record, Ways Not To Lose, released March 7th, 2006. To mark the milestone, the band will be joined by The Luckiest Horns and “special guests to be announced.”
“It’s always a special honor to play the Ryman,” said Oliver Wood. “Knowing the history and having seen shows there, we understand the reverence of fans and artists alike, and appreciate the intimacy and vibe of this magical room.”
Nashville holds a place of significance for The Wood Brothers, having served as their creative home base for over a decade. Their relationship with the city began in 2013 when they recorded The Muse at Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Studios, a period that also saw all three members relocate to the area. Since then, they’ve crafted each of their subsequent albums at The Studio Nashville, which the band affectionately calls their “creative clubhouse.”
