Born in the north woods of rural Minnesota, Skarlett Woods is the middle child in a lower middle-class family who was surrounded by love and support while being immersed in rock n roll, showtunes, pop, and film scores as her musical landscape.  She has been described as the musician's songwriter.  From a young age, Skarlett hasn’t been shy about living on the fringes of society- holding an eye on social justice issues. She moved to the West Coast for 15 years, stocking up on adventures such as working on a commercial crabbing boat off the Oregon Coast, bicycling 6,000 miles across America, and building two tiny houses- one of which she lived in for 5 years without running water. The pandemic brought Skarlett back to Minnesota and she hit the ground running. She averaged nearly 200 shows in 2022/2023 while simultaneously recording and producing her Sophomore Album, “Letters To The West” alongside Minneapolis producer/songwriter, Kevin Bowe.  Skarlett received winning placements in Duluth’s Dylan Fest Songwriting Contest in both 2022 and 2023 for her songs, “Close To You (Braver These Days)” and “Me, I, Me, Me”. She was also named for the “People’s Choice Award” at Wussow’s Songwriting Contest in 2022.   These successes have garnered her a reputation throughout Minnesota. Hailed by Dave Franklin, Dancing About Architecture, as a “worthy successor to the likes of James Taylor, Joan Baez or His Bobness”. Her heart-felt, unafraid and ‘honest to the core’ style of music lives somewhere between blue-eye Soul, Folk, and Americana, with a hint of hope.
