Hi! If you received an add request, we probably saw a band on your "music" list and thought you might like our music. If you didn't specify your musical tastes, we figure there was nothing to lose by asking you to check us out... It is afterall a request, yours to accept or decline as you wish.
All we ask is that you give us a listen and add us if you like what you hear. Don't be scerrd to tell your friends about us, especially if someone you know would enjoy our stylee. Feel free to say whats up anytime...
We like to play good music for good people. People who like to dance to live music get extra points with this band. If your down then check us out! If your in the area of one of our next shows, come on out and get down. Or just come out and have a good time with us! The right vibe is always on hand!
If you would like a copy of our first album, you can now purchase one directly from the main page of the WS&tP site. Although I-Tunes might be a better choice at this point, as we are almost sold out of our first album. If you're coming out to a show and don't have a copy of our self-titled release, or Glass Half Full... buy one directly from the band! We are all starving musicians and a little extra love at the show would not hurt anyone in the least bit! Again supplies are very limited, so act fast!!!
Until We Meet,
Willie Strings
Here's the facts about the band:
About Willie Strings:
Born in Silver Spring, MD, first started performing at the age of 12, now some 14 years, four line-ups, and at least a hundred open mics later ....Willie's ready and set to go! Whether it's a solo acoustic performance or a full-on electric set with the band, you are in for an hell of a ride! Better strap in...You never know what this ecclectic Master of Cermonies might bring to your ears. Could be a beautiful ballad with melodies that will shock you. Then again it could be an all out in-your-face, up tempo rock song, with elements of ska or reggae! Or it could just be some good ol' down home one-drop reggae, so sweet that you'll be forced to stay on the dance floor till the lights come on. Either way, this band leader has a way of connecting with an audience that needs to be seen to be understood.
About the Players:
~Bruno has been a local musician for years, applying his signature guitar licks in former DC and VA based band OneOneSeven and guest spots with the Fishermen band based directly out of our Nation's Capitol. He brings elements of modern alternative, rock, and new reggae to the table. As well, his latin influences and classical guitar training are evident in every note. Bruno brings an energy reminiscent of The Red Hot Chili Peppers or 311 to the stage, and in doing so he lights up his corner with a performance all his own. He was hosting his open mic in N.W. DC where he met Willie in April 2002, and he is now the latest welcomed addition to the Players and since his inception has blended beautifully.
~Josh "Dr. Love" Insel has been playing bass for years. He's played in various projects along the way, gaining experience on the stage, as well as in his own recording studio. Josh has an incredible love for music and all that goes into the process of making music. Whether it's all day recording sessions, or setting up a stage, he's truly at home in the elemment of production. His bass playing is very reminiscent of the band Sublime, or Long Beach Dub Allstars, in that it's easy to feel what he's trying to say with every note. His energy on stage is that of legend and his vibe off stage is quite the same. To meet Doc is to know him. He was introduced to the band by a longtime friend, Michael "Doo Doo" Walker, and the rest (as the say) is history.
