Kurt Wooldridge's performance style is emotional high energy; there's nothing bland about this country boy. His brand of Soulful Traditional Country Music will warm your heart & is full of toe tapping up-tempo tunes, slow heart felt ballads, honky tonk shuffles & two stepping numbers that will keep the dance floor hopping. Kurt Wooldridge’s intensity lives through his commitment to his art -- from the audiences he performs in front of, to the professionals who perform live with him, and on his recently released CD, “Twang Factor” which has sold over 1000 copies and downloads. Kurt’s perspective on country music is very simple “The traditional country music that has embraced folks for years has seemed to have gone to the wayside making room for a more rock and roll and mainstream Pop sound. I wanted to create a record that would be able to have music and lyrics that would be emotional and tell a story that would bring the listener into the song you know something country has always been about, you have to be able to relate to what your listening to” Besides his success, Kurt has won a faithful following while opening for countless performers, including Cheap Trick, Trace Adkins, Joe Nichols, Dierks Bentley, Trick Pony, Terry Clark, Clint Black, Jason Aldean and many others. Kurt Wooldridge has performed at several high profile venues such as, The Iowa State Fair, Southern Iowa Fair, Burlington Steamboat Days, Corporate events, Casinos and many, Clubs around the Midwest. Kurt Wooldridge brings together a technically trained background with a dynamic singing voice. Performing professionally for the last 15 years Wooldridge brings together the best of traditional country with new dynamics. He has written over 100 songs in this style. He has written songs with Jeff Carson (Curb Recording Artist), John E. McCollum (who has written songs for Toby Keith, John Michael Montgomery, Farron Young and the like and was a staff writer for EMI and Zombia songs). And has performed over 150 shows in 2007, all over the Midwest. Kurt’s first album, “Twang Factor” produced by Kurt Wooldridge & Joel Kipp, features Mike Chapman on Bass Guitar, Walt Cunningham on Piano & Keyboard (and session leader of the project), Russ Hicks on Steel Guitar, Gregg Galbraith on Lead Guitar, Hank Singer on Fiddle, Danny Parks on Acoustic Guitar & Gene Chrisman on Drums & Percussion. Kurt Wooldridge is in a category of his own. With high-energy performances and crowd involvement, this is an entertainer that stands out from the rest. His ability to engage the crowd and keep them dancing have built a nice following that follows Kurt from event to event.
