Woodie Thornton on the drums at the historic white elephant

This is a shot from one of the many bands and venue where you can find Woodie Thornton on the drums. 

Woodie started his drum career back in his high school and college days in Muscle Shoals, Alabama as a studio drummer. He had the opportunity to play on several iconic tracks during those days. 

After retirement and relocation to Texas he picked up his sticks again and hasn't stopped playing. He plays with several area bands playing everything from traditional country, Doo-Wop, bluegrass and the blues to the easy listening popular hits and Southern rock classics.  He also plays with the Kelly Moore Ministry at area cowboy churches  His first love was the jazz that he played at the many. many Mardi Gras balls in Alabama and Louisiana. 

His work on the cymbals brings a whole new dimension to each and every song that he plays on.  He also does the Latin beat with his congas and bongos. He is one of the most versatile and accomplished drummers in Texas and he is always up for a new music challenge.
