Willie is a big time concert performer who is known for his legendary performances throughout the midwestern U.S.A. He is a charismatic showman who will simply rock you!
As an artist, he is a prolific songwriter who writes several songs to every one included on his CD releases (averages one CD release per year). Writes moving and soulful songs with infectious hooks.
As a musician, he's a talented guitarist who plays with great feel and intensity. He was taught to play guitar by his father and bluesman the Reverend Willie J. Creagh, who played with such legends as Muddy Waters, Little Walter, and Sonny Boy Williamson 2 (Willie Jr's Godfather). I guess good genes is the secret...
