Williford

About Me

A west coast blend of soulful vocals and pop/rock sensibilities, Williford started as a recording project for the band’s founding member Scott Williford. Mining the studio talents of former bandmates in local outfits such as Grey and Nema-7, the Bay Area singer/songwriter decided to put some previously neglected material to tape. Pure amplification was abandoned for a more organic approach, the result of which is the 5 song self-recorded and produced EP, Metropolitan Blues.------Coming up next: Scott W. recruited stylistically eclectic players allowing his R & B meets Psych-Pop hybrid to translate to the stage. During the process of finalizing arrangements with the current line up, new material was thrown into the mix, and Williford’s live experience – while at times punched up – remains authentic, smart and varied.I get myspace layouts at UltimateMySpace.com.

Sounds Like: Indie / Acoustic / Alternative: Neil Finn influenced songwriting is pitched against the likes of Ray Charles and Big Star to lock in the underpinnings of Williford’s updated, but decidedly American, guitar-based vibe. Psychedelic and ethereal elements more akin to My Morning Jacket and Midlake put the finishing touches on their modern, yet accessible sound.
