Gary Woodard is such a great entertainer. He has a soothing, perfect-pitch voice and plays guitar and keyboards flawlessly. He bills himself as "one man band", and it is easy to understand why. . He is known for creating atmosphere when he sings and plays; having that right balance between being heard, but not overpowering. On Sunday, when he played "My Girl" by The Temptations at the Antique Market Place, women approached his mini-stage with their shopping carts full of treasures. He sang "Can't Help Falling in Love with You", so well, you would have thought it was Elvis himself singing. Mr. Woodard's playlist is of songs that aren't too fast, but don't drag on; the perfect tempo for eating or shopping. And you can be sure, when he performs, he is dressed elegantly. He looks fabulous surrounded by the Christmas decorations at Antique Market Place.
Mr. Woodard is from Wilson, North Carolina and he started playing guitar when he was six.* You can find him on Facebook, Youtube, and Instagram. Frequently, he plays at Simply Sonya's in Winston Salem on Friday nights. We hope to hear him again in Greensboro soon!
Happy Wednesday!
