“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.

Daily Record reviews LIVING WILL

Wed, 01 Apr 2009 23:10:00 -0400

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!

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:52:00 -0400

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.
