I’m John Woodward, a North Carolina-based singer-songwriter blending heartfelt originals with an eclectic mix of covers that span indie folk, alt-rock, Americana, and acoustic pop.

My set lists are a conversation across decades — from John Prine and Elvis Costello to Jason Isbell and Frank Turner — tied together by a love of honest storytelling. I love songs that say something real, whether they’re quiet and reflective or big and anthemic. I’m not trying to sound just like the record; I’m trying to make it matter in the moment.

At the heart of it all are the same things that shape my original songs: simple melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and a deep respect for how music connects us. I’m grateful for the chance to share these stories with you. Thanks for listening.
