Will Purdue

Will is an Alt Country Singer - song writer, inspired by the likes of The National, R.E.M. and Leonard Cohen.
Will's music is based around his brand of dark folk which is
then transported towards Alt- Country with the musicians around him. Expect an intensity to his live performances, a deep honesty to his lyrics and big choruses.

Will has performed at Celtic Connections Festival at Glasgow Concert Hall as well as other festivals including Byline, Kaya World Music, London Blues Fest (Reading Leg) and Always The Sun. He has supported two of his influences (Jessie Malin at Oxford o2 Academy and Dave McPherson of Inme at Central Studio Basingstoke), and put on two really successful evenings himself at The Troubadour, Earls Court and The Half Moon, Putney.
The first (mini) album was released in May 2018, called ‘Rumour & Confession’ following on from his ‘A Past Life’ EP from June 2016. He’s had radio AirPlay from BBC Introducing, as well as online and local radio shows from England, Scotland and Argentina.
In March 2019, Will is releasing two singles; ‘I Don’t Think We Should Rush In’ and Bedside Table. Will embarks on a tour at the start of March to support this, and is currently filming a two part music video ready for their release.
