Brothers Oliver and Chris Wood grew up immersed in American folk music. But as adult musicians, each pursued a different direction -- one playing Southern music, the other playing avant-garde jazz with the internationally-acclaimed trio Medeski Martin & Wood. Now The Wood Brothers are back together. They join Kojo for a live in-studio performance, and tell us how family, roots music and a vintage guitar spurred their latest project.
