Who We Are
Riff Wood
Riff Wood is a rock band from Davis County, Utah composed of best friends Carson Groves (15), Hyrum Russon (15), and Asher “Shredder” Winegar (16). Born from a shared love of music, the trio started rocking out together at the age of 11, honing their sound and building an unshakable bond.
Their talents came to the forefront when they claimed victory at the Utah Battle of the Bands as 9th graders, solidifying their reputation as young musicians to watch. Now, the band is making waves on social media, gaining immense popularity and connecting with fans worldwide.
Riff Wood is independently producing their debut full-length album (titled ‘Tough Luck’), showcasing their unique sound and love of rock music. With friendship as their foundation and a passion for rock driving them forward, Riff Wood is on a mission to take the stage and make their mark on the music world.
We’re overwhelmed with all of the positive comments and support coming from our newfound community and are so excited to be on this musical journey with you. Thank you for listening and for all of your support!
