The unconventional, nontraditional indie singer-song writer, Will Wood is coming to The Plaza Live

Will Wood is hiting the road with the “Mr. Wood is Dead” Tour, with the singer announcing 27 dates this spring and summer with special guest Fish in a Birdcage.

Defiantly unique singer-songwriter Will Wood has announced the “Mr. Wood is Dead” Tenth Anniversary Tour for summer 2025, featuring special guest Fish in a Birdcage.

Following his winter 2024 “Slouching Toward Bethlehem” tour—a solo expedition blending comedic storytelling and distinctive music across the United States—this announcement represents a new era of evolution for the cult favourite independent artist and an apparent swan song finale for the styles and themes that defined the first ten years of his career. If Mr. Wood is indeed dead, where the artist plans to go from here is a mystery.

In June and July 2025, fans will get a real treat with shows starring his band, the affectionately dubbed Tapeworms, with whom Wood has not toured since the 2010s.

These shows promise to deliver a reimagining of Wood’s earlier work, as well as unique takes on his most popular releases, enhanced by the high-energy dynamic that originally helped establish his unique position in the music landscape.

The tour includes a stop in Orlando, with Will coming to The Plaza Live on July 15.

In the ten years since the release of his debut album, indie singer-songwriter Will Wood has played the roles of drug-addled shock jockey, cryptic art-rock recluse, self-deprecating chamber-pop balladeer, and storytelling alt-comic with paradoxically equal parts authenticity and theatricality.

While it may have served Wood well to fall in line with the demands many artists face when confronted with an unexpected viral moment, the cult singer-songwriter has remained defiantly himself. In the theater, Wood’s emotive storytelling and standup intertwines with his widely varying style of music in a way that refuses to conform to either tradition, and when with his band, his raucous “Tapeworms” concerts are equally unconventional. His upcoming “Mr. Wood is Dead” 10-year-anniversary tour will be bringing both around the country, in front of larger audiences than ever before.

Will Wood is a pescatarian, collects stuffed rats, and lives in New Jersey with his girlfriend and a dozen or so rescued stray cats. To inquire about adoptions or donate to help cover their medical needs, visit https://linksta.cc/@SnooterFriends.
