The Wood Brothers are hitting the road this winter in support of their acclaimed album Puff of Smoke. Following their previously announced return to Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium on March 5, the trio has added 15 new shows spanning the Southeast and Midwest from January through March 2026. Tickets go on artist presale Wednesday, October 29 at 10 am local time, with general on-sale beginning Friday, October 31 at 10 am local time.
The tour begins January 29 at The Eastern in Atlanta and winds through the Southeast, including two nights at The Orange Peel in Asheville and three Florida stops. After a short break, the band heads north to the Town Ballroom in Buffalo on February 26, before continuing to the Midwest for shows at the Royal Oak Music Theatre, The Kent Stage, and Cincinnati’s Taft Theatre. The run wraps up in the Carolinas with performances in Charlotte on March 6 and Durham’s Carolina Theatre on March 7.
Alongside the tour news, The Wood Brothers have shared a video for “Above All Others,” directed by bassist Chris Wood. Oliver Wood describes the track as “Queen meets circus music, with big anthemic power chords and Freddie Mercury–style operatic, over-the-top choruses.” The video visually captures that exuberant energy while reflecting the band’s signature blend of playfulness and soul.
Puff of Smoke, the band’s ninth studio album, showcases their fearless creativity and collaborative spirit. Across 11 tracks, The Wood Brothers fuse Latin-inflected guitars, post-jazz rhythms, and anthemic sing-alongs into a sound both familiar and freshly alive. It’s a record that radiates joy and curiosity, mirroring the band’s continued evolution nearly two decades after their debut Ways Not to Lose in 2006.
Known for transforming every stage into a communal celebration, The Wood Brothers continue to prove why their live shows are among the most beloved in American roots music. Fans can expect a mix of new favorites and classics like “Luckiest Man,” “Postcards from Hell,” and “Happiness Jones” as they bring their spirited performances across North America.
