Featured Track: Bio: The "Shaman in a Suit" is known for ferocious live performances that play with time and emotion. Blending elements of psychedelic classic rock, world, alternative and modern music, as well as a constant search for the profound. After being completely wiped out in an apartment robbery, a new guitar and a new recording studio was needed. Over the next two years, the brand new album, "Open" was recorded. "Open" the back of your mind and let in the universe... The Record Release Party was at the Knitting Factory, in 2006. An experienced performer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Will grew up as a son of a professional jazz guitarist. Incorporated into the music, besides self study and reflection is Will's background with the study of world religions, spiritual practices and their connection with music. An energy surrounds the music that is as much influenced by classic rock bands as it is gypsys and shamen. The gypsy mentality ranges from Will's love of famous guitarist Django Reinhardt, to the broader sense of taking flavors from many cultures. Further, the shamanic aspects are readily apparent, as every show is treated as a ritual. Named "Featured Artist" by Jamwave.com.
