Local favorite Wendy Woo is set to open the 2010 free summer concert series, Strumming Through Summer, at E.B. Rains Jr. Memorial Park on Wednesday, June 23 at 6:30 p.m. Wendy's energetic personality, musical skills, and spirited songwriting have made her a media and fan favorite and have taken her to venues across the country including the Fox Theater and Red Rocks in Colorado, the Bitter End and the Living Room in New York, the Hotel Cafe in Los Angles, the Bluebird Café in Nashville, Sweetwater in Mill Valley, and Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia. In 2009 the Wendy Woo Band made the top 5 for Best Local Band on Denver 7's A List. Woo has released eight CDs displaying a wide variety of styles.
