Singer-songwriter and alt-comic Will Wood has has played the roles of drug-addled shock jockey, cryptic art-rock recluse, self-deprecating chamber-pop balladeer, and storytelling alt-comic—all with paradoxically equal parts authenticity and theatricality. While many artists might conform to industry expectations after an unexpected viral moment, the cult singer-songwriter has remained defiantly himself. On stage, Wood’s emotive storytelling and stand-up seamlessly intertwine with his ever-evolving musical style, defying convention.
In his new concert film/comedy special "Slouching Towards Branson," Will Wood performs for audiences across the U.S., intertwining songs from his discography with a drug-addled, rat-filled, spiritually confused "about as true as a true story can be while still being a story" story about accidentally going viral, timeshare presentations, and the end of the world. The special has received glowing reviews from independent outlets and critics as well as from both fans and newcomers to his work alike, and has been winning a variety of awards and nominations on the independent film festival circuit.
An audio edit of the special is now available to stream on major streaming platforms, and the film can be purchased on the WW Patreon at Patreon.com/therealwillwood.
