Venues will be in the one thousand to two thousand capacity range, 19 of them House of Blues main rooms.

It’s been two weeks since the official release of Stick Figure’s new album “Smoke Stack” which actually ended up dropping a couple days earlier than expected on iTunes. The album hit #1 on iTunes Top Reggae Album Charts and has stayed consistently in the top 3 spots since the release. Sitting along side notary acts such as Bob Marley, Matisyahu, Rebelution & SOJA just to name a few. As well as debuting in the Top 10 on the Billboard Reggae Album Charts at #8

Scott Woodruff after three successful albums under his belt has proven to be a talented individual.  Scott  played all the instruments, wrote, recorded and self produced all three of the albums but that is all about to change come 2010.   Scott Woodruff has been joined by three talented musicians Brendan Dane on bass, Todd Smith on drums & Kevin Bong on keys. The band will be re-working and re-recording some older tunes as well as some new songs for the bands debut album tentatively called “Stick Figure EP” which will be dropping early 2010.

The band is currently playing live shows up and down the west coast. To check out the bands schedule please click HERE

Stick Figure’s latest album “Smoke Stack” captures a pure ambiance of expression with hard drum and bass intertwined with diverse echoes of dub laced, with all sorts of interesting knickknacks that keep you locked into the sound. Topped with strong, conscience lyrics that hit hard and spread like wild fire into your heart, you have no other choice but to keep on listening. Having seen Stick Figure grow as an artist for over three years, this is undoubtedly his best work to date. We were lucky to hear smoking songs prior to the release of the album like “Hawaii Song”, “Livin’ It” & “Smoke Stack” but you never expect it to be followed up with so many more killer tunes like “On2Night”, “Break of Day” & “Thick & Thin”…just to scratch the surface! I recommend this album for not just all reggae lovers but anyone who is looking for a fresh, original album that possess groovy roots dub rock with a positive message.

Stick Figure’s new album “Smoke Stack” is now available on Itunes. This album is amazing, I am speechless. For an artist that I have seen grow musically for three years. I knew this album was going to be sick, but this is unexpected like hotter than a smoke stack sick, if you like reggae just a little bit, you will very much enjoy this album! Congrats Scott!
