Will accompanied the trio of Smith children for their performing debut at the History Club coffeehouse at Red Bank Regional High School on Friday night. The quartet sang “One Track Mind,” from Living Will. The evening was captured on video by multiple sources.

One-Song Gig and Some Vaudeville!
Really enjoyed the 2010 RBR Faculty Talent Show. A live DVD was shot by students and Frankie Juliano snapped away as “Rye Fields” was just launching. See more photos here:

Acoustic Guitar feature
“Tweaking amps is fun, but there’s something very organic and transparent about fingerpicking an acoustic guitar.” Check out Will’s Reader’s Rig, featured in the December 2005 issue of Acoustic Guitar magazine.
Car Talk plays "Little Padiddle"
“Little Padiddle” (from UNVARNISHED) was featured on a recent epidode of Car Talk, the popular (and fun) show on NPR. Check out the podcast here.
Daily Record reviews LIVING WILL
Thanks to Robert Hicks for the feature in the March 2, 2007 Daily Record.
It’s the intimate conversation that happens as a solo acoustic performer. That’s what it’s always been about for me. It’s putting a little bit of yourself out there and a little bit of objective experience that everybody can understand, share and feel.
LIVING WILL out now!
The brand-new album, LIVING WILL, is finally here. It features 13 tracks of acoustic folk-pop, many of which were performed with a jazzy ensemble of bass, drums, and keyboards. The iTunes Store and others will have digital downloads soon, but the CD is available right now from CD Baby. Buy LIVING WILL now!
