Wooden Ambulance

Eight-member band Wooden Ambulance perform melancholy Americana mixed with rock and blues. In the foreground is the velvet baritone Goran Grubišić, while behind him is a very rich mosaic, composed of harmonica, banjo, slide guitar, and violin sections.

The audience remembers Grubišić as the drummer of the famed post-rock band from Subotica – Ana Never. His new musical adventure, beside being characterized as Americana, can be also described as a mixture of indie folk-rock and dream pop (although some, serious critics, see him as a sort of postmodern blues).

Wooden Ambulance has recorded four well-acclaimed albums (woodenambulance.bandcamp.com) – Intersection (2012), River Sand (2013), Rough Charms (2014) and North From Your Heart: Wooden Ambulance Remixed (2015). Grubišić and his crew can be heard on popular singer-songwriter /Americana compilations Bistro At The Edge Of The Forrest and Songs Under The Sheets.

The band played several dozen concerts across the entire region, and even had something truly unusual and unique: a bike tour (!), as well as a series of concerts across Holland. They were the opening band to some quality foreign musicians, and were seen performing on the first Americana Night Festival in the Belgrade Dom Omladine Civic Centre.
