If The Beatles grew up in south Alabama listening to the Allman Brothers.
Will Kimbrough is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, producer and performer born and raised in the deep south of the Alabama Gulf Coast. Will's songs and sound reflect equally his lifetime of playing and writing, beginning at the precocious age of 12, and his prodigious appetite for all kinds of music----folk, blues, gospel, country, rock n roll, punk rock and jazz. Will has released five solo discs and five albums with his bands Daddy, The Bis-Quits and Will and the Bushmen. He has produced Todd Snider and many other artists. Will Kimbrough songs have been recorded by Jimmy Buffett, Little Feat, Todd Snider and Jack Ingram. Will has shared the stage or worked in the studio with Rodney Crowell, the aforementioned Snider, Mavis Staples, Billy Joe Shaver, Mark Knopfler, Bill Withers, Steve Earle, Sonny Landreth, Bill Payne, Gomez, John Prine, Guy Clark, Emmylou Harris, Buddy Miller, The Jayhawks, Jenny Scheinman, Roseanne Cash and more. In 2004, Kimbrough was named Instrumentalist of the Year by the Americana Music Association---an award that had previously gone three years in a row to the great Jerry Douglas. Will has toured all over since way back and is carrying on into 2009 with European, Australian and US touring and the Summer 2009 release of the newest Daddy effort, "For a Second Time". 2005's "Americanitis" cast a critical eye on America in the early 21st Century. Will's most recent solo CD is 2007's "EP", featuring standout tracks like "Hill Country Girl" and "Yellow Mama". Many music fans consider Will Kimbrough a modern master of roots music and classic pop.

Hope that you enjoy and have a blessed day! Kelly Murray
Gracias Will Kimbrough!....Your willingness to share your observations and offer encouragement at the Songwriting Workshop is indicative of your true Southern Gentlemen-esque spirit!

Will, Thank you for adding me to your list of friends. I really appreciate it. My current project is a novel with CD soundtrack due to be out this fall. Wishing you continued success and a wonderful musical weekend.
It’s been 40 years since The Band played at Woodstock, and nearly 33 years since their farewell concert, The Last Waltz. But while The Band may be long gone from the stage, The THE BAND Band is the perfect remedy for Band-starved fans everywhere.
The THE BAND Band has been lauded by fans as being "as close as it gets to the real thing," performing timeless classics such as "The Weight", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", and “Up On Cripple Creek” from The Band's legendary repertoire.
Will, I hope Oct. 17th goes well; they couldn't have picked a better man for the event! I got the DADDY CD and I am lovin' it! It was so wonderful to see you & Tommy at the Basement. Happy Autumn to a magnificent musician, you!
