Chuck Wood is a multi-instrumentalist and composer from Northwest New Jersey with more than 45 years of experience in music. He has recorded and toured the U.S, with his friend Arjun Alan Bruggeman (Krishna Das) in their world percussion band known as Ghandharva. He has also appeared live or recorded with Neal Casal, Michael Franti, David Darling, John Ginty and others. The instruments he plays are West African in nature, including the djembe, doun doun, and shekeree; some are rooted in South American culture such as the congas and berimbau. Chuck has studied these various instruments with Baba Olatunji, M'Beba Bangoura, Titos Sompa, and more. Recently, he has begun recording and performing on the electric guitar playing the instrument in his own unique style. Whether performing solo or with the band, Chuck loves the art of music and rhythm, and continues to explore its depths through live performance and recording.
