The Big Wu was derived from the nickname for the volcano in Joe Versus
the Volcano which is actually spelled The Big Woo. The Big Wu is a rock
'n' roll jam band from Minnesota. The group is composed of Al Oikari, Andy
Miller, Chris Castino, and Terry Vandewalker. The band made a mark on the
jam band scene with a reputation for hook-oriented songwriting and as one
of the earliest jam bands from the Midwest to achieve some national
success. Relentless touring in the late 1990s and early 2000s built a loyal
fan base that call themselves "family," many of whom get together for the
band's recurring music festival, the Big Wu Family Reunion. From 1998-2006,
the band annually held the Family Reunion on Memorial Weekend, and they
frequently hold a Wu Years Eve event on December 31st. The band has not
toured since the end of 2006, instead playing only periodic shows in their
home state of Minnesota.
