Steve Woods is a Columbia, Missouri–based filmmaker and musician currently developing a documentary on bourbon distillery owner Corky Taylor, exploring the intersection of legacy, craftsmanship, and Southern storytelling. Alongside this project, Woods is revisiting his roots in music with a reunion of his 1990s band The Vegas Cocks, reconnecting with the energy and grit that defined his early creative years, and exploring the intersection of gothic americana and cosmic blues in his current project, The 31st Floor, .
A graduate of Belmont University with a bachelor’s degree in music and a Master of Fine Arts from Queens University, Charlotte, Woods built a diverse artistic career spanning film, theater, and music. He wrote The Return of the Grievous Angel, a one-act play produced by the Greenhouse Theater Project, From 1987 to 1999, he was deeply immersed in the Nashville music scene, performing in a succession of bands that reflected the city’s evolving sound—from the industrial edge of Kickback, through the rock-driven China Black, and finally the visceral swagger of The Vegas Cocks and The Bomb Pops.
Woods’ musical lineage runs deep. He began performing in local venues with The Gene Woods Band, led by his father, and with his aunt Moetta, who opened for (and played piano with) Jerry Lee Lewis in venues from Memphis to Las Vegas. After stepping back from touring, Woods carried his creative curiosity into literature, opening a bookstore in Memphis, Tennessee, where he continued cultivating a life shaped by art, storytelling, and the American South’s raw cultural pulse.
