A traditional father links arms with his daughter to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day, to the traditional tune of “Bridal Chorus” (a k a “Here Comes the Bride”) by composer Richard Wagner. But musician and Senior Arts Writer for the Independent Joe Woodard is not a traditional father, at least not in this sense.
Forgoing tradition, Woodard, who can be heard playing around town with his band Headless Household, did what most dads have not: He composed an entire album to perform for his daughter, Claire, on her special day this past June.
Woodard pulled from an impressive repertoire of what he and Claire call his “pleasant, noodly” guitar instrumentals and refined a collection of the original, solo guitar tunes to provide his daughter and her betrothed with the perfect nuptial playlist.
