Description

Forged in the fire of Ozark old-time music "Powerful, down-home, and brainy," according to the Washington Post, Willi Carlisle is a multi-faceted writer, performer, and instrumentalist who collects folklore, calls square dances, and works in the avant-garde. His musical stories are forged in the fire of Ozark old-time music; they hoot, stomp, and saunter through timelessly true joys and heartaches. Equally comfortable on banjo, accordion, fiddle, and guitar, Willi also has an expressive voice that draws comparison to old balladeers and bluesmen. Audiences find that he laughs and sheds a tear almost as often as they do, fire-and-brimstone proof of his larger-than- life songs. Willi Carlisle has earned accolades for performances in the UK, Canada, and across the US, appearing with acts like Dom Flemons, Los Texmaniacs, Cory Branan, and more. Here, listen.
