Cedar Sessions: Jimi Cooper in 4 Dimensions Featuring Woodblind

Jimi Cooper is a real living chameleon of guitar from jazz to surf to metal, polka and punk. The Cooper Chameleon Cedar Session will draw from his four current favorite bands: Dance Attic, Coop & the Kooks, Hot Club of Duluth, and Woodblind.

It’s safe to say guitarist Jason Wussow and bassist Veikko Lepisto’s ska band Woodblind has become a Duluth music institution. The pair have performed their catchy, clever and dance-til-you-die original music in pizza parlors, breweries and coffee shops across the northland for years. Often they augment the duo to a full band with Jimi Cooper on guitar, Eli Bissonette on violin, Tyler Dubla on drums, Bryan “Lefty” Johnson on percussion, and Jacob Mahon on keyboard.
