Emerging from the misty old-growth forests of America's Pacific northwest, Woodland is a mythic world fusion ensemble featuring the songcraft of guitarist Emilio Miller-Lopez and singer/harpist Kelly Miller-Lopez. For more than nine years, Woodland has been enchanting audiences throughout the US and Europe with an ornate blend of original and traditional melodies woven with meaningful bardic poetry. The band's music features a variety of folk and electric instrumentation, combining ambient and acoustic, with the signature improvisational energy of an authentic west coast festival jam band. Woodland co-produces large-scale themed events which are immersive concert experiences featuring vibrant lightshows, theatrical dance performances and live musical rituals led by their seasonal poetic invocations.

For ten years Woodland has been working with Faerieworlds LLC, Imaginosis and the UK artists Brian and Wendy Froud, co-creating live concert events where mythic music and enchanting art find a crossroads. The band has performed and headlined at events including Trolls et Legendes in Belgium, The Labyrinth Masquerade in Los Angeles, An Evening in Elfland in Glastonbury UK, Earthdance in San Francisco, The Witches Ball in London, The Fairy Ball in Cornwall, England, The Good Faeries/Bad Faeries Masquerades on both US coasts, FaerieCon in Philadelphia and the Faerieworlds events in Sedona, Santa Fe, Los Angeles and Oregon.

About SEASONS IN ELFLAND: SHADOWS
Woodland's new album, Seasons in Elfland: Shadows will be released on the Summer Solstice in Cornwall, England at the 3 Wishes Festival in Bodmin Mor. The album explores the dark side of the seasonal wheel and includes 13 new tracks by Woodland featuring guest appearances by the German pagan folk band, Faun, ethereal-gothic Barcelona singer Priscilla Hernandez, Australian songstress Louisa John-Krol, Sigrid Hausen of the German band Qntal, Spanish pianist Hector Corcin, UK artist Wendy Froud and American ghost cellist Adam Hurst. The album features original cover artwork by UK faerie artist and Woodland collaborator Brian Froud, and the disc includes original on-disc artwork by Welsh knotwork artist Jen Delyth.

Seasons in Elfland explores the seasons and the patterns of nature as a map of the experience of the soul. The Shadows album is part one of a two part musical endeavor, which will also include Seasons in Elfland: Light which will be released in 2011 on the Winter Solstice. The Shadows release begins thematically on the European festival date of Samhain, or November 1st, and features songs leading the listener through Autumn and Winter, and ending on Spring Equinox just before the old world festival of Beltane on May 1st. The Light album will feature songs with Spring and Summer themes leading from May 1st towards Autumn, and finding completion just on the Fall Equinox. Together the two albums explore the entire seasonal cycle from the eternal perspective of the otherworldly realm of Elfland.

Woodland: Future Plans
Today, Woodland continues the production of Seasons in Elfland which is set to be released in two parts. The long awaited Seasons in Elfland: Shadows, is complete and is to be released on the Summer Solstice of 2010.
