Kenny Woods (born October 22, 1969 in Los Angeles) is an American composer, producer, and musician. He has performed with various musical acts including: Beck, that dog, The Steven McDonald Group, and Old Hickory.
In the early 90's, he worked in live music production and toured the world with various rock groups including, Melvins, Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Beck, Pavement, Hole, Redd Kross, and more. Shortly thereafter, Beck asked him to play guitar, but this union was short-lived when he left to form his own group Old Hickory, a musical outfit at the center of the once burgeoning Silver Lake indie rock scene. In 1999, he began playing with various bands and musicians around East L.A., including his longtime friend Rob Zabrecky, Adam Siegel (The Blondes), Anna Waronker, Joey Waronker, and Josh Schwartz (Beachwood Sparks/Further). Later he formed the pastoral folk group Anders & Woods with singer/songwriter Tiffany Anders.
From more than a decade, he owned and operated Bright Street Recorders where he produced music and ran recording sessions for acts including: Sia, Death Cab For Cutie, Ancestors, Imaad Wasif, Robyn Hitchcock, Lucinda Williams, Ben Harper, Lykke Li, Lord Heron, Nite Jewel, Julian Casablancas, Vampire Weekend, Fools Gold, Ricki Lee Jones, M Ward..."
