AJ & The Woods are an up-and-coming roots rock band home grown in Ohio.  Founded on the sweet nostalgia of delta blues, AJ & The Woods elevates roots rock to a new height. Playing extensively throughout Ohio and the greater region they took their sound south with a 2018 summer tour through Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Mississippi Delta region. AJ & The Woods has performed as direct support for international acts such as, Chase Rice, and at major music festivals including, Bellwether Music Festival (Waynesville, 2018 & 2019) and Brite Winter (Cleveland, 2018 & 2019). Established in 2015 by singer Alison Tomin and guitarist Joshua Alan Collins, their sultry sound features striking female vocals and intricate guitar melodies. AJ & The Woods released their first self titled EP in 2017, which organically blends passionate folk, rock, and blues to bring you one of the most unique and articulate sounds to date. AJ & The Woods are currently prepping for a 2021 release.

We formed in 2017 to play shows. Ramsey had some songs he’d written (what is now the album, Gave It All Away) that he wanted to record and play out. We took those songs around Cleveland, Columbus and Chicago. 

Soon, more songs. We recorded and released our second album, No Song Sick Hearts, in 2019. Again, we played out a bit. We were fortunate enough to be featured as the band of the week in Cleveland Scene Magazine in May, 2019, featured on WKSU’s Shuffle with the incredible Amanda Rabinowitz and have some airplay on 91.3 The Summit! We loved playing shows and being with the wonderful folks who support us and that we got to share a stage with.

Now its 2020... a global pandemic. But we love and need music and have not stopped recording and decided to release our next album one song at a time (one song per month). Our first song, “Can’t Love You Anymore” was released in June, 2020 and had been found on Spotify and on 91.3 The Summit. And on July 3rd we are releasing the second track, “Here I See” which is our ode to hope.

We hope to be playing shows soon cause we miss you all!
