Americana trio the Wood Brothers will perform live at the Recreation Outdoor Center in St. Louis Park on July 15.

Tickets are $32, or $75 for VIP, and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday through Etix.

The concert will introduce “a new era of live, nationally touring acts to the community space,” according to promoters Sue McLean and Associates. The multi-use outdoor recreational facility hosts events year-round, including winter and summer sports, a spring egg hunt, the Minnesota Wild’s free outdoor hockey practices, the annual Juneteenth celebration, art fairs and home and garden shows.

Brothers Chris (upright bass) and Oliver (acoustic and electric guitar) Wood grew up steeped in American roots music, including folk, gospel, blues and jazz.

Oliver Wood went on to land a spot in Tinsley Ellis’s touring band, while his brother co-founded the jazz fusion group Medeski Martin and Wood. After spending 15 years pursuing their own careers, the brothers performed together for the first time in 2001 and realized they should make that pairing permanent. Multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix joined the group prior to the release of their fourth album, 2013’s “The Muse.” The Wood Brothers released their ninth studio album, “Heart is the Hero,” in April 2023.
