About Me

WILLOW is the solo project of Christchurch based singer/songwriter Michal Williams. With her previous commitment to bands 4manbob and Sideshow coming to a close in 2008 along with her sideprojects The Gentlys and Solemn, Michal has since enjoyed time to devote to her own songs. Michal loves old raw and rough country gospel music by the likes of Johnny Cash and Woodie Guthrey, and points to the truth of Christ in all her songwriting, whatever the subject at hand. Influenced also by Elliot Smith, Iron and Wine, Sufjan Stevens and Ben Folds, WILLOW is an acoustic folk sound with its own distinct flavour. Keep an ear on this Page this year for new songs posted and an EP on the way.
