Live audience shot during Woodland's set at Faerieworlds Festival 2005
"...That is where the ethereal tones of Woodland’s music takes you. Back, not to a place where childhood daydreams danced, but to ancient Celtic myth where everything on the earth had a consciousness and was vibrant with living spirit.”
-Sandy Moss
The Daily Courier, AZ
“When we heard the music of Woodland, we thought how wonderful it was and we were intrigued with the possibilities of how ideas sort of flow outward and get larger... We just wanted to help, encourage and expand the world. We put my images together with the music and we received a delighted reaction from the audience.”
-Brian Froud
Creator of international bestsellers Faeries and Good Faeries/ Bad Faeries. Conceptual Designer for Henson Films Dark Crystal and Labyrinth
