Wood’s career highlights include touring with musical heavyweights like Shania Twain and The Chieftains, and performing around the world at places like the Lincoln Centre, the Kennedy Centre, and the Carnegie Hall. He has appeared on special televised events and programs such as The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, Up Home Tonight, and The Rita MacNeil Show.
