With a unique sound that echoes the melodic smarts of Sufjan Stevens and packs the instrumental punch of a band like Wilco, Willodean combines indie-rock, power-pop, and American roots music with beautiful arrangements and crystalline studio sound.

Each of the band's members has a diverse musical background: the southern roots of front man Abbie Huxley, the smart, McCartney-esque songwriting of Randy Wooten, and the indie rock edge of producer/bass player Eric Holden.

Willodean rose from the ashes of The Bloody Lovelies, Holden and Wooten's previous band and their record label, Cheap Lullaby Records, which released over 30 records for artists such as The BellRays, Joan As Police Woman, Ivan & Alyosha, Teitur, and David Mead. Today, the two blend their modern DIY aesthetic and sharp, lyric-based songwriting with Huxley’s Tennessee grit to form Willodean.
