Canadian roots rocker WiL performs at The Music Hall Food Co. on February 26 with guest Emerald Specks.

WiL hit the Canadian music scene in 2004 with his debut album ‘Both Hands’ which earned him three WCMA nods including ‘Entertainer of the Year’. In 2012, his gift for writing music with inspiring lyrics and catchy arrangements landed him a string of acclaimed songs including ‘Roam’ in Travel Alberta’s award winning media campaign ‘Remember To Breathe’ and ‘Ride’, anthem to The Calgary Stampede’s 100th anniversary. His latest album 'El Paseo' was nominated 'Solo Roots Album of The Year' at 2015 Western Canadian Music Awards.

No wonder, the ease with which WiL explores a wide spectrum of themes and styles in his songwriting shows a lifetime of fearless musicianship. His tunes are catchy but not overstated - a dynamic performer who effortlessly balances out moments of gritty intensity with those so tender you swear you hear is heart beating through a microphone. As such his live shows have been coined 'legendary' - affording him the opportunity to share the stage with such musically diverse artists as Feist, Matt Andersen, Matthew Good, Gomez (UK) & Burton Cummings. Whether speaking to WiL's masterful passionate string-breaking live performance, his music career or composing music for film, WiL is in his element - he was simply born to make music.
