Creature and the Woods essentially began as a duo featuring Roger Molina of Leanna May & the Matadors and Noise Ratchet and Midnight Pine’s Shelbi Bennett. After debuting their Widow’s Waltz EP in 2015, their album Rise was released in January 2017.
By 2019, the lineup featured Molina along with Dan Cervantes (Whiskey Circle, Mrs. Henry), Chad Lee (Silent Comedy, Mrs. Henry), Justin Rodriguez (Western Set, Counterfit), and Jody Bagley (Kimmi Bitter, Mrs. Henry). Their Joshua Tree EP was recorded at Eagle Ohm Ranch in Joshua Tree and released that April. Shelbi Bennett became a member of local Kate Bush tribute act Baby Bushka.
