Description

WiL’s shows have been coined legendary; his guitar style; ‘mesmerizing’; captivating listeners with his unusual strumming technique while creating lush, fat and full acoustic guitar sounds that have become signature to the enigmatic fiery, silver bearded front man that heads up the west coast based Indie folk rock outfit known as wiL and Company.
Not one for school, ‘Billy’s' youth consisted of holing himself up in his room, listening to everything from Chet Atkins to The Sex Pistols but It wasn’t until hearing Neutral Milk Hotels flagrant use of an overdrive pedal on an acoustic guitar that he really started refining and defining his sound & playing style; one that caught the eye of label execs in Toronto, effectively launching his career as a songwriter/touring musician.

Tales of this band's legendary live show and songs like Travel Alberta's soaring anthem 'Roam' paved the way to share floorboards with the likes of Feist, Matthew Good, Ray LaMontagne & more.
