WHY WOODSHED?
NEARLY 25 YEARS OF ARTIST BRANDING SERVICES.
What we do
We’re a full-service branding agency for musicians. (We’re musicians, too.)
We help artists cut through the noise with an authentic message.
Since 1999, we’ve used design & print to help artists turn listeners into diehard fans.
We’re here to amplify your artist’s message.
How we do it.
We consult. We design. We print. Start to finish, all under one roof.
We give a damn about long-term relationships, not automated transactions.
We’re a small but mighty team helping you do big things.
This ain’t our first rodeo, but just like you we’re all about constant improvement.

// FOUNDER & CEO
Dominic Tancredi
A lifelong drummer, Dominic picked up the sticks at age two, continuing to play various instruments throughout his childhood. Later, he spent 15 years playing professionally, recording 12 studio albums and performing around the US and Canada, opening for Earth, Wind & Fire, Rod Stewart, The Barenaked Ladies, and more.
He also spent nearly two decades as a professional drum instructor, teaching private drum lessons, as well as writing, arranging, and instructing local high school drum lines and percussion ensembles.
Dominic spent more than twenty years “in the circle” performing with, writing for, and instructing pipe bands. As a solo snare drum competitor, he was promoted to the highest competitive level after winning numerous national and international awards.
Art has always been a lifelong passion for him as well; his designs have been seen on stages worldwide, on numerous national TV appearances, and even on a Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Dominic started Woodshed in 1999 while studying Marketing and Psychology in college, blending his love of music, marketing, and design.
When he’s not walking Edison & Lucy, you might find him on stage playing drums with his Rage Against the Machine tribute band.

Our STORY
It all started in a spare bedroom back in 1999.
The band sounded great, but no one remembered them. With new faces in the crowd every night, they struggled to build a following.
Woodshed founder Dominic Tancredi designed a logo and emblazoned it on his kick drum head. Now memorable, the band was quickly hired for bigger, better-paying gigs (one bar even sold out of beer during their set!)
Word soon spread well beyond his Cleveland network and Woodshed was born. Custom kick drum head logos soon led to stage backdrops, merch, step & repeat walls, laminates, and more.
“We’re musicians who care about every artist and every tour we serve. Our team does whatever it takes to make it happen.”
- Dominic // Woodshed Founder
Nearly two-and-a-half decades later, our designs and prints have been seen on arena stages worldwide, countless times on The Grammys, every major network talk show from The Today Show to The Tonight Show, and multiple Super Bowl Halftime Shows.
