Riff Wood is a high-energy rock band from Davis County, Utah, formed by teenage best friends Carson Groves, Hyrum Russon, and Asher “Shredder” Winegar, who began playing together at just 11 years old. After winning Utah’s Battle of the Bands as 9th graders, the trio quickly gained momentum through viral social media growth and a rapidly expanding global fanbase. Building upon the success of their debut album Tough Luck and a sold-out first US headline tour, Riff Wood signed with Giant Music and began working with legendary producer Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, My Chemical Romance). They’re currently recording their second album, channeling raw chemistry, tight musicianship, and fearless songwriting into their next chapter.

About The Deaf Institute

The Deaf Institute is one of Manchester's grass-roots venues on GigXchange — the kind of small-capacity room where you can stand close to the band and the bill changes every week. Capacity, age policy and door fee vary per night, so always cross-check with the gig details panel or the venue's own page closer to the date.

Planning your Manchester night

Grass-roots gigs in Manchester are intimate by design: most rooms cap below 200, the band is on stage close to the floor, and the support acts often deserve as much attention as the headliner. Arrive within thirty minutes of doors to catch the openers and pick a sightline you're happy with.

Entry hasn't been published — bring £5–£15 cash to be safe, or check the venue's social channels for advance ticketing.
