About The Woodsman's Babe
Joseph Henry Lengson, (born October 6, 1989) is an American musician, author, and photographer. Lengson is best known for his involvement in the Tooth & Nail/SolidState metal band, MyChildren MyBride and is currently performing under the moniker The Woodsman's Babe. Lengson was born in Los Angeles, California and raised in Bullhead City, Arizona. He began playing music at age seven and had participated in many local musical projects growing up ranging from early American folk to death metal. Lengson wasn't brought up in a spiritual household, however found faith at the age of seventeen on his own after extensive research and questioning. Before Lengson discovered he could be a musician, Lengson wanted to be a medical doctor. Lengson's first solo record was released in 2004 under the name Red Lights & Semis, which was an instrumental ambient electronic project that stemmed off the aspiration to create movie soundtrack music. Lengson released Red Lights and Semis Two in 2005, and Red Lights and Semis Three in 2006. In 2006 Lengson and friends started the hardcore band Braveheart, where Lengson sat in as the drummer (which in 2008 signed to 1981 Records that released the bands debut album Speak To These Bones.) In 2007, Lengson's former high school bandmate asked Lengson to join Mychildren Mybride to tour full-time as their bassist. At the time Lengson was studying medical full-time in college. Lengson joined in October 2007 and was a part of Mychildren Mybride to tour the world extensively and to release the 2008 debut record Unbreakable, (Joey Sturgis, Adam Dutkiewicz) the 2010 album Lost Boy, (Matt Goldman, Jason Seucof,) which landed on the Billboard 200 and the 2012 self-titled album, Mychildren Mybride, (Zeuss.) In the fall of 2010, Lengson was offered a position hosting a MTVu television show counting down the top music videos, after winning a contest hosted by Mountain Dew, but declined the offer to continue to tour. In May 2011, Lengson’s book, Sleeping In Parking Lots, a 30 chapter memoir of tour stories and personal life lessons, was published worldwide. In 2012 Lengson left MyChildren MyBride and moved back to Los Angeles to focus on a new solo musical project, The Woodsman's Babe. Lengson played his last show with Mychildren Mybride at the House of Blues in Anaheim, CA. In February 2012, nine months after announcing his departure with MyChildren MyBride, Lengson premiered The Woodsman's Babe via Alternative Press along with first single Red or White. Lengson on the name of the project, "It was the title of an old book that I found in a used book store. I found the name to be masculine and sexy at the same time. None of my friends liked the name, they didn't really get it, that's probably why I chose it. I didn't put too much thought into it, the name was really the least important element to the whole project to me." In May 2013, the music video of Red or White premiered on MTV, where MTV quoted Lengson to be "all over the darn place." In August 2013, The Woodsman's Babe signed with the independent record label Autumn + Colour.
