Enticing, Spiritual, gritty and real, Willow Willis has infatuated music lovers along the Eastern seaboard for many years. After performing in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, London and Manchester, Willow returns. Influenced by many and moulded by few Willow's unique original acoustic is as diverse as her talents. A performer, writer, promoter, producer and artist, she plays multiple instruments including guitar, piano and harmonica. Her latest work brings an alluring blend of classic jazz, blues, rock, & acoustic funk. Growing up in metropolitan NSW, she was born into a musical family and began playing at 3, performed at 12, and recording / promoting music by 16.
Willow's notable appearances include The Surry Hills Festival acoustic stage, The Brisbane Writers Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, and regular spots at Sydney venues including The Excelsior, La Bar on Oxford & Newtown RSL. She now resides in Port Douglas with regular gigs at Hemmingways Brewery, Sheraton Mirage and Sea Temple among others. She has worked with and performed for acclaimed artists such as Nigel Kennedy, Daryl Braithewaite, Steve Vizard and John Farnham to name but a few and recorded vocals for established and up-and-coming artists stirring up the music scene as front runner for bands as well as stints in trio's and duo's while her budding presence is a hot topic online.
Willow has graced the airwaves on Triple J, ABC Radio, TVS, PopTarts TV, Blacksheep Productions and internet TV and has landed the odd magazine cover. Willows back...her searing lyrics and smouldering presence have ignited the souls of music lovers and left clubs with standing room only!
