His shows have been coined as legendary; his guitar style; ‘mesmerizing’; captivating listeners with his unusual strumming technique while creating lush, fat and full acoustic guitar sounds with his long time drummer that have become signature to the fiery, silver bearded west coast based frontman that heads up the Indie folk rock outfit known as WiL (&Co).
WiL ( born William Mimnaugh ) has been writing, recording and touring since the release of his thrice WCMA nominated debut album, Both Hands, sending him on tour across Canada with Colin James, Matthew Good, Jann Arden, Burton Cummings and Matt Andersen. Standouts include opening for soul legend Mavis Staples, Canadian Indie darling, Feist, The Hip and one of his music heroes, Ray LaMontagne.
With countless shows under his belt, and a few sweet accolades that include penning ’Roam’, the award winning anthem for Travel Alberta, he spends his time off the road penning music for TV and film and riding his bike and motorcycle.
