Leaving home in his late teens, Woodie spent years working the rodeo circuit as a professional rodeo clown and Bull Fighter.  He‘s clowned at the Calgary Stampede in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, the Heldorado Rodeo in Las Vegas, Frontier Days in Prescott, Arizona and at the Cow Palace in San Francisco' among other places.  He still participates in Bull Riding and Bull Fighting events around northern Colorado. 

 
     Woodie came to Colorado in 1988 and spent time singing and playing around Vail and Aspen.  He and his band, The Snowy River Band, play numerous dates around northern Colorado at venues such as the Grizzly Rose in Denver and the Sundance Steakhouse and Saloon in Fort Collins.   The Snowy River Band includes Robert Honeycutt on drums, Barry Wadley on lead and steel guitars, Rex Bolan on fiddle, and Al Roller on guitar and mandolin.  They all add to the vocals and some each have a song or two of their own they do during their show. 

 
     The band has opened and or shared the stage with  many big name acts that include Trick Pony,  John Anderson, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Lonestar, Rick Trevino, Chris LeDoux, Toby Keith, Tracy Lawrence, and Mark Chesnutt.   Their music list includes not only some high energy country but mixes in a little bluegrass , a little rock & roll and a few rodeo favorites during the show as well as digging into Woodie’s cajun roots.
