The Woozle Effect

Rob “Woozle” Laferrière is owner of Woozle Harmonicas, where he provides Harmonica Maintenance, Customization, Sales, and Lessons. Robert Laferriere is certified as a Seydel Service Partner. 

The Woozle Effect is Rob's one-man-band show. Specializing in "Recycled Sound," Rob loops together original and cover material using his self-customized harmonicas and home-built "guitars." The process is oddly self-referential: loop upon loop, piling up to form something greater than the sum of its parts. It's a sort of DIY Blues that takes notes from other genres and styles to express itself.

The performances are loop based, and so the songs literally refer back to themselves,: recycled over and over, layer upon layer, to give the impression of a much larger band all performing at once. The covers, remixes, and original material blend together, and are performed on instruments made from recycled materials and found objects like toasters, ammo cans, and hockey sticks.
