WOIO is a collaboration between Andy Arnold (lyrics) and Jim Behrens (music) that began in 1987 with some breaks through years and geographical regions. We create music from who we are with multiple styles and common theme. Since 2023, we have enjoyed working with vocalist Aubrey Rogers on many recordings. Aubrey brings a fresh and expansive perspective to the music & lyrics.
We also engage other musicians as needed to help us see our songs to completion.
