You are reading that headline correctly. Elijah Wood, Frodo from Lord Of The Rings and star in the TV series Wilfred is also a DJ. He has actually been doing it for the past couple years and is not just diving in as a celebrity looking to use their status to get more money and fame. He is a traditionalist, spinning all vinyl, which is incredibly rare for new converts to the trade. This winter, he will be going on a 5-date North American tour alongside his Djing partner, Zach Cowie as a part of their duo, Wooden Wisdom.
As first reported by Billboard, this January, Wooden Wisdom "will bring their self-described "paradise garage" sound -- a groovy mix of '70s and '80s disco and house" to five small clubs and mid-sized music venues across North America.
Cowie has been DJing since 2001, touring with Animal Collective and Fleet Foxes. The duo will take their passion for classic sounding disco and house onto the road for five nights hitting Miami, Kansas City, Toronto, Brooklyn and Seattle.
We have seen other noted movie stars bring their talents to the DJ booth. Idris Elba is a DJ who has a residency in Ibiza over the summer. Kristain Nairn, better known as Hodor (Hodor, hodor, hodor....) is also a DJ. He recently started touring in the United States and Australia with a Game Of Thrones themed party, titled "Rave Of Thrones".
Don't expect to see much Lord Of The Rings memorabilia at the show, but Wooden Wisdom will be dropping some knowledge on those who attend. See the dates below and check out a set of theirs from earlier this year in Los Angeles.
