I perform a wide variety of contemporary covers in classical and jazz style. Radiohead, Alt-J, the XX, Florence + the Machine, Jack White and a host of others, as well as classic rock and culturally beloved songs.
Will recently performed at our Adult Day and Respite center for seniors with and without dementia, and our participants loved him. We received feedback from our participants, and they say they love his voice and his emotion that comes out in his voice. He is also very professional and treated our participants with respect when speaking with them. I will say the only thing that keeps this review from being a 5 star is that we were hoping to hear some more music from the era of our participants (50s, 60s, 70s,). With that said, we hope to have Will back here soon!

I love a good adventure, and the best ones have come from music.
I ran my own national tour in 2017 as a solo singer-songwriter, playing for bars, breweries, resorts and restaurants all across America. 19 cities, 5 weeks, zero support from a record label, and an unlimited supply of amazing memories from the road. I've since come to call Denver my home, and I'm the resident artist at The Bluegrass Coffee & Bourbon Lounge on multiple nights per week. Starting in 2024, I am performing at the Historic Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs every week on piano.
My style is somewhere between Shakey Graves and Ed Sheeran, mixed in with a good portion of The Decemberists, Death Cab for Cutie, and a bunch of good old-fashioned story songs. When I'm feeling frisky, I can use my loop-station to create a sound that builds until you could swear you're listening to a full band.
I've also got a ton of originals, all about my adventures (or mishaps) ever since I could write them down. Breaking hearts, mending fences, quitting jobs, and starting trouble. When I'm holding my guitar, I'll stomp and holler about it all.
But when in comes to piano, my love of all the rascals truly comes out. From Frank Sinatra to Tom Waits to Jack White III, the best songs come from singing your truth... even if you have to put a little spin on it to make it rhyme.
In the end, music is my journey, and there's no clear destination. I'm all over the map, and I want to take you with me.
