@woodbutchermusic is an indie rock band from Portland, Oregon with a rocky folk/psych-rock sound and earthy lyrics that transport you to a deep forest campfire, dancing with creatures of the night. Influenced by All Them Witches, Shakey Graves, and The Decemberists, their sound carries a storytelling, dark-folk, witchy tone. Their latest EP Evil, recorded with @stephentfisk, dropped in February 2025, with more to come throughout the year. Catch them at @shadypinesfestival!
