the WOOVS

The birth of The Woovs began in the summer of 2006, on back decks and garages in Barberton, Ohio. Life long friends Adam Lengyel (vocals/guitar) and Bryan Delauder (keys) teamed up with guitarist Kevin Hamric, also a Barberton native, to explore their musical possibilities. The Woovs were formed, an original spelling of a name derived from tagging each other as wolves.



After garnering heavy attention in the area's open mic circuit they began playing their own gigs. People were interested. Songwriting is their specialty, a duty still shared between Delauder, Hamric and Lengyel. At first, everything remained acoustic but the band was open to fill out the sound, and they did by adding bassist Brant Novak and drummer Dave Dibello.



The Woovs branched out from their acoustic roots and began playing for audiences across Northeastern Ohio. Their blend of "soul-tinged rock, pop and R&B requires attention to detail," says Cleveland Scene Magazine writer E. Fleisher. They are a young, energetic, and hard working band influenced by a plethora of artists, musicians and, of course, herb.



The Woovs plan to tour more extensively this year behind their 3rd album, Predator Ep. Chris Baker has replaced Jay Price and Novak on bass, And Daniel Kshywonis has replaced Dibello on drums, but the rest remains the same. They have a bright future and you can expect them to do great things. Their first album(self titled 2008), No Entertaining in the city(2009), are available on itunes and The Predator(2011) will be there soon. Adam Lengyel has also released The Memory Tree(2010) and Johnny L and the Cavedwellers(2011). The group is currently recording and working on a full length album along with planning a national tour.

"These ego-free Barberton music makers play solid music with no pretentiousness and allottta heart. Watching them for some reason makes me believe in the power of hard work and gives me that specific emotion akin to watching one of those flicks that makes you feel real good when the underdog wins or the unlikely hero emerges."
