SUMMARY:WiL and Company
DESCRIPTION:WiL’s 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 that have become signature to the enigmatic fiery\, silver bearded frontman that heads up the west coast based Indie folk rock outfit known as wiL and Company. The company includes his long time drummer Keith Gallant and on occasion\, a roster of talented guest guitarists / musicians such as Shaun Verreault\, Mike Roma & Matt Bromley. \nWiL has been writing\, recording and touring since the release of his thrice WCMA nominated (including a nod for Best Live Act )\, debut album\, Both Hands sending him on tour across Canada with artists such as Colin James\, Matthew Good\, 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. \nWith 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 & film\, practicing Goju Ryu Karate and riding anything with two wheels.wiL and Company are on tour in April 2025 promoting an upcoming new track called ‘Pieces’“Comparisons abound: John Mayer\, Bob Iver.. but let it be said that this Calgary-bred\, Vancouver Island based artist has set his own standard for sensitive singer-song craft\, helped by a series of gorgeous music videos by Travel Alberta but to break the sensitive singer-songwriter stereotype\, Wil Mimnaugh is decidedly unwimpy on stage – his website isn’t called ibreakstrings.com just because it sounds cool” – Gig City Edmonton \nThe Upstairs Lounge is a licensed restaurant and bar\, doors open at 6 pm for dinner service\, the concert starts at 7:30 pm \nPlease note this is a LISTENING venue. \nTickets are also available at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre\, in person or by phone (250) 595-7946\, as well as through or Beacon Ridge Productions. \n  \nhttps://ibreakstrings.com/
