The Steel Woods at Duling Hall on November 9

meet The steel woods

The Steel Woods, the renowned Southern rock band, have captivated audiences with their powerful sound and heartfelt lyrics over their past three albums. With their fourth album, On Your Time, they embark on a poignant and emotional journey loosely following the trajectory of Uncle Lloyd, a charming but dissolute character first introduced on the Woods’ debut album, 2017’s Straw in the Wind.

This ambitious album not only showcases their musical evolution and episodic storytelling abilities but also serves as a tribute to the vision and legacy of their late co-founder, Jason “Rowdy” Cope, who passed away just before the release of their third album, All of Your Stones. Led by Wes Bayliss, the band’s guitarist, lead vocalist and co-founder, The Steel Woods have poured their heart and soul into this album, creating a record that reflects their resilience, growth, and unwavering spirit.

In honor of Jason’s passion for healing, they created the Jason “Rowdy” Cope Memorial Fund which will provide aid to individuals struggling with PTSD. Jason was extremely grateful for organizations such as Musicares and Onsite Workshops which played a huge role in his personal journey to healing. He would often refer to Onsite as the “NASA for mental health”

Jason repeatedly talked about his mission in life being “to carry a torch for healing” for those in need. Through his music, his writing and his plans to put together benefit concerts, he was determined to share his experiences and opportunities with the world.

“Since Jason’s passing, we have now made it our mission to carry the torch for healing in his honor. We are committed to working with MusiCares and The Onsite Foundation, to provide financial support for individuals in need of trauma therapies just as Jason envisioned. All funds raised will assist qualified individuals, screened by OnSite, to receive financial relief for the healing treatments needed for PTSD. This fund is a big Eagle Up for our brother, Jason “Rowdy” Cope’s legacy.”
