The Wood Brothers have announced a new slate of Winter 2026 tour dates. From Jan. 29 to March 7, the two-decade roots trio of brothers Chris and Oliver Wood and Jano Rix will make 16 stops across the Southeast and Midwest. The band’s next outing will continue the live celebration of Puff of Smoke, their ninth studio album, which arrived to acclaim in August.

The Wood Brothers will embark on their first tour of 2026 with a performance at Atlanta’s The Eastern, followed by two nights at Asheville, N.C.’s The Orange Peel on Jan. 30 and 31. After passing through Birmingham, Ala., the trio will offer three shows in Florida, stopping in Fernandina Beach, Clearwater and Orlando from Feb. 3-5. They’ll jump up the coast to Buffalo’s Town Ballroom on Feb. 26, then wind through engagements in Royal Oak, Mich.; Kent, Ohio; Cincinnati; Huntsville, Ala.; and Jackson, Miss. before their previously announced and highly anticipated return to Nashville’s iconic Ryman Auditorium on March 5. Two shows in Charlotte, N.C. and Durham, N.C. will wrap the run.

Alongside today’s tour announcement, The Wood Brothers have shared a new music video for “Above All Others,” the fourth single from their recent studio release. In a statement, vocalist and guitarist Oliver Wood described the off-kilter highlight in an unpredictable, genre-bending album as “Queen meets circus music, with big anthemic power chords and Freddie Mercury–style operatic, over-the-top choruses.”

Tickets for The Wood Brothers’ Winter 2026 tour are available via an artist presale now, with a general on-sale beginning this Friday, Oct. 31, at 10 a.m. local time. Find more information at thewoodbros.com.

“We talk all the time about how the best stuff happens when you accept the fact that you’re not in control. The misconception about the creative act is that it comes from you,” Chris Wood reflected on the process behind Puff of Smoke in a recent Relix feature. “The more that I’ve witnessed and experienced it, the more I’ve come to believe that it’s not me. We’re not separate from our environment… So I try to think of myself less as someone doing something and more as someone receiving something.” Read more here.
