Wooldridges release first new studio CD in 10 years
When local musician Scott Wooldridge left town for Minneapolis in 1998, his brother Brian stayed here. And although the Wooldridge Brothers kept writing, recording and gigging, things definitely slowed down a bit for the band. Now, the duo releases, "Days Went Around," its first studio disc in 10 years.
