The Wood Brothers end their winter tour in Rome, 14 years after their last Syracuse-area show

The trio closes its 2027 winter run at the Rome Capitol Theatre on Saturday, March 13 — their first stop in the region since a 2013 night at the Westcott.

Feb 23, 2013. That's the last time The Wood Brothers played the Syracuse area, at The Westcott Theater. Fourteen years later, they're back in Central New York — and this time, the local show is the last night of the tour.

The Wood Brothers play the Rome Capitol Theatre in Rome on Saturday, March 13, 2027. The date was announced Oct 21. Our listing doesn't have a start time or price posted yet; watch the JamBase page for those as they're set.

The Rome date closes the band's winter 2027 run. According to JamBase's tour announcement, the trio — Oliver Wood, Chris Wood and Jano Rix — will travel through the Southeast and Northeast in February and March, opening Feb 4 at Duling Hall in Jackson, Mississippi, and finishing March 13 at the Capitol Theatre in Rome. Presales started first, with general on-sales opening Friday, Oct 23, so tickets are already out there.

Last night of the tour, first time in the region since 2013.

Tour closers tend to be the nights bands remember. Five-plus weeks on the road behind them, nothing to save the voice for, and a room full of people who have waited a long time. For Central New York fans who've been driving to Albany, Rochester or further to catch this band, the end of that wait is now an hour or less down the road.

The record they're still touring is *Puff Of Smoke*, which arrived in August 2025, per the same JamBase report, and the band has been on the road behind it ever since. Before that came collaborations that caught a wider audience, including a single with Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks, "Never and Always," covered by Live for Live Music. The band's JamBase listing files them under folk, which is fair, but the shows have room for groove, harmony and the kind of three-piece interplay that rewards a seated theater audience paying close attention.

That's where Rome comes in. The Capitol is a historic theater in downtown Rome, the kind of room that suits a band built on dynamics: quiet enough for an acoustic verse, big enough for the moment the whole trio leans in.

Fourteen years is a long time between visits. It's long enough that some people buying tickets for March were in grade school the night of the Westcott show. It's also long enough that anybody who was there in 2013 has been waiting to say so.

Make the drive. Last nights are worth it.
