What happens when you combine a fiery, silver-bearded frontman with mad acoustic guitar chops and a super skilled and chilled drummer? You get the indie folk outfit known simply as wiL & Co. Not one for school, wiL’s youth consisted of skateboarding and listening to music–everything from the country twang of Chet Atkins to the raucous punk sound of the Sex Pistols. Accompanied by his long-time drummer, Keith Gallant, wiL mesmerizes listeners with his unusual strumming technique while creating lush, fat, and full acoustic guitar sounds that have become signature to his live shows. WiL opened for soul legend Mavis Staples, Canadian indie darling Feist, and Grammy winner Ray LaMontagne.
