Lance Woodson

Guitar and bass onstage, keys and production in the studio, from Colorado's Dark Sky Country. Book the groove band, the ambient set, or me on your project — onstage or in the studio.

Big Trip

Instrumental • Neo Jam • Speakeasy Groove

An instrumental band that's meant to be the focus — bringing energy, generating movement, and drawing a crowd in off the street. Half originals, half covers reimagined from the ground up: "Sweet Jane" and "Don't You Forget About Me" as groovy folk-rock jams rather than note-for-note copies. Every night goes somewhere different.

Dark Sky Ambient

Ambient • Cinematic

Textural layers of guitar and effects built live, stretching out like the space between stars. Unobtrusive by design — it fills a room without asking for its attention. The set for galleries, tasting rooms, dinners, and long slow evenings.

Your Project

Live Player • Co-Writer • Producer

Your band, your song, your record — with me helping out. A guitar or bass player for your gig, a co-writer when a song is stuck, or a demo cut in my home studio. If you need help realizing your musical goals, let's talk.

About

Lance Woodson

I'm a multi-instrumentalist living under some of the darkest skies in Colorado, and I've been playing for more than 40 years. From 1990–1991 I was a producer at Suge Knight's Funky Enough Records in Los Angeles, with acts like The D.O.C. and DJ Quik. From 2018 to 2024 I focused on songwriting, session work, and production with artists like Eric Krause, Steve D. Wilson, and Cinco Barnes. In 2025 I shifted my focus to playing live, both solo and with artists like violinist Wendi Westman.

On stage I move between guitar and bass depending on who else is in the band that night. I build each lineup from a rolodex of local players, and a looper covers any empty seat so the groove never thins out.

I'm just as happy backing up someone else — filling in on guitar or bass, helping finish a stuck song, or recording in my home studio (hear a few tracks). If you need help realizing your musical goals, let's talk.

Booking

Want the band to be the reason people came, or music that stays under the conversation? Tell me the room, the crowd, and the night you have in mind, and I'll put together the right project and lineup for it. Musicians: need a player, a co-writer, or a demo? That's a conversation too.
