OneDay40

John, Billy, George and Andy cut their country teeth in Evangeline, contemporaries of the pioneers of original British country music in the early 2000s. Regulars in the clubs and at festivals, they played as far afield as the Bluebird Café in Nashville and Hampden Park in Glasgow on the back of two self-published original albums. OneDay40, so named because John and Billy are 364 days apart in age, rose from the ashes of Evangeline as a vehicle for the enthusiastic songwriting and production ambitions of band members. The 2007 album release of “Unfinished Business” scored a BCMA “Best Album” award, and a recording contract with a small Nashville label – but the challenges of “normal” life got in the way of the band pursuing this any further and they took a “fourteen year vacation”.

A gathering in 2023 reminded the band members of just how much they had in common, and work began on new original material driven by their diverse musical influences and extensive and colourful life experiences. The fruits of this rebirth are destined for a new album, slated for 2025 release, with the first tracks becoming available mid-2024.

Rob Wheeler

Raised by a loving single mum, in a small North West town in the UK, Rob discovered music was a way of escaping the bullies and troubles that came with being the “poor kid in a council house” – playing Hank, Cash, Eagles & Beatles on his cheap guitar on the outhouse roof, overlooking the asbestos garages and uniformed blue doors of his neighbourhood, romanticising a life on the road like his heroes.

In 2012 Rob’s life changed forever. A medical diagnosis, leaving him as a self described “Nowhere Man”, led to depression, addiction and ultimately a breakdown. “I got help, and I learned to help myself, and I realised that life and music are gifts, so I poured my heart and soul into those instead of self destruction”.

A small legacy from his Grandfather gave him the opportunity to record and release his critically acclaimed debut album, which led to global publishing and label deals.

Next would be an invitation to journey to Nashville; Tennessee, where Rob’s reputation for songwriting, collaboration and hard work preceded him. Four months in The City Of Music, working with Jeff Trott, Steve Dorff & Frank Liddell amongst many others, resulted in the new record “Leave Tomorrow”; a true unification of UK and American country music.

“My heroes sang about cowboys and horses, desperados and drifters; but I write and sing about what I see and what I feel. And you know what, I believe that’s the root of all great country music no matter where you’re from – sharing your true feelings in a song, so that somebody listening is just a little less lonely”.

After hundreds of writing sessions & demo tracks, Tom landed on his country/pop style after falling in love with the country sound & writing style mixed with his modern take on the genre. He takes inspiration from the likes of John Mayer, Cody Johnson, Brad Paisley, Luke Combs, Zach Top & rock/blues bands such as The Eagles and Bad Company.

Instead, the duo focused on writing new material and playing many online shows, which led to them winning ‘Best Duo/Group’ at the Country Music Spotlight Awards. The pair released 3 re-worked tracks from their debut album at the beginning of 2021 and followed this with a run of shows including appearances at several Foodies Festivals across the UK between lockdowns. In late 2021 and 2022 the pair were nominated for best band/duo at the BCMA and have recently spent time writing and recording new material, creating an ever-growing buzz for new releases.

Ever since, Wood Burnt Red has been playing across the Midlands and South West, knocking dead crowds with their original writing and energetic performances in a show that leaves you wanting more.

Which brings us to now… Their debut single ‘All I Need Is You’ is out now, as Wood Burnt Red show the rest of the world what it’s been missing.
