Willy Porter-Moonbeam

[WHATHEPOO]

oh. my. god.

[jeffreydebra1]

Yeah.

[Daa1Chef]

Got to see him for the first time last night at a small venue in Green Bay Wis. Only about two hundred people there.............all I can say is wow! I have a lot to learn as an advanced novice acoustic guitar player.

[dtma24]

I can believe I wasn't there... Then again I was thirteen and had no idea about willy porter at the time

[gail0010]

We grew up in a suburb north of Milwaukee, WI.

[gail0010]

I grew up in the same neighborhood as Willy!!! This song mentions the railroad tracks by our neighborhood. Great fun and mischief down there! Great show again last night Willy.

[snowsealfunchick]

@gail0010 gail where did u and willy grow up..the state would be ebough for me. Thanks Oh b the way I just ran accross him acouple years ago and love his bright mind and music.

[tommycu44]

Judges??...Okay, yeah he's better than me.

[mm62jam]

Kamreezy, I hear you. Couldn't decide whether to sell or invest more (time, mainly)!

Think we just need to find our own tuning and niche

[TheLaurahurt]

saw him open for jeff beck. what a show

[kamreezy]

so...should i sell my guitar or keep practicing?

[HalfRaven]

Mmmmm, mmm, mm....I forgot how good he is. And man, does he put on an entertaining live performance....like sitting with your buddy who happens to be insanely musically talented.

[jobermueller]

I can't tell you how many people I have forwarded this too. Willy Porter is the man!

[mostlyrocknroll]

@jobermueller thanks for getting the word out, Joe, and I share your opinion about the man!

[fishdweeb123]

sent this to a friend in Calgary....she hates me, but might like this....

[mostlyrocknroll]

@fishdweeb123: ha-ha, how can she not love you after this?

[diegoespinosasb]

i looked for a cover for his songs.... couldn't find anything . He is in another world when it comes to playing acoustic

[MrPublic7enemy]

in my opinion hes one of the most underated guitarists

[QUIETAME]

been trying to get new copies of "dog eared dream" and "the trees have soul" for yeeeaaars! If you´ve got em, come on...post all you can!! Fell in love at my first concert in the 80´s!!!

[BLTnumber14]

Anybody have tabs for this???? i love this song. Willy Porter WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! what a talented guy!!!!!

[Fartin4Jesus]

Willy's special, for sure. I've been lucky to see him 5 or 6 times over the years. He is as genuine and friendly as he is talented. His rapport with his audience is one of the highlights of his shows. For the unindoctrinated, pick up the album "The Trees Have Soul." It might be hard to run down, but it is a masterpiece. It will always be among my favorites.

[frankguevara]

amazing guitar skill.

[peiboy]

Hey there Willy! Just wanna say that i think that you are very talented,and love your humbleness, have you ever heard of Don Ross, i think you would enjoy, "cheers my friend.

[DarkSpaceDestination]

I Love The Name Of The Song !

[mickeeandhermice]

[tomosoos]

this world's finest one man groove

[THCH62]

Love me some Willy Porter...

Check out another amazing guitarist / singer songwriter

VICKI GENFAN... enjoy

[lringstad]

I remember watching Willy play at the Cabin at UWEC back in 87. He has always been an amazingly talented man. And his music just keeps getting better as we get older. And as I recall, yes. He is one class act.

[diegoespinosasb]

the best acoustic guitar player ever this guy is finger picking good

[tolga1975]

Thanks for the beatiful music

[jgodin312]

Saw him at Jammin Java in vienna, virginia the day before my 20th birthday. its an absolute crime that he's still so undiscovered

[bandogoon]

I was fortunate enough to see Willy here in San Diego soloing before he was off to tour with the Cranberry's.. Will never forget the experience, and what a truely nice guy he is.. would be cool just to hang and drink with him to hear some stories about LA,, Chicago, and the road...

[mostlyrocknroll]

I plan on posting some other songs of his and his mighty guitar brilliance.....soon.

[davidbrucemusicvideo]

wow! what a monster player!

i just tried a willy porter style open tuning and found this tune here, so i thought i'd post my video here too.

one of my students told me willy had a new guild at his show the other night, that i couldn't go to because i had a show to play, and i couldn't imagine him using a guild because of the high end ones he's used, but this signature model is amazing!

[whitehat55]

beautiful

[newmorning52]

He's coming back to McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica In September and I have tickets already. I love Willy. He is an amazing spirit.

[elenapulli]

I went to see Jethro Tull one time and he opened up for them; he blew me away!

[MtnLion73]

Was that 2001? Thats when I saw him open for Jethro Tull in Northern NJ.

[elenapulli]

Yes. I had taken my then 12 year old son to his first concert. He too was blown away by Willy.

[scodug]

what a delivery this guy has....

[mrracicot]

that was...INSANE...who the, where did this dood come from??this guy's got some serious talent

[philly33542]

Southeastern Wisconsin, Near Milwaukee. Pure Soul.

[GaPeach54]

Really love Willy. If you Love Willy, you are going to love the Lucas Cates Band videos. Check them out.

[killerponcho123]

woah....

[TomGilroy]

Stunning.

[Kobolos]

I first saw Willy on tour with Tori Amos back in the Nineties and I've followed him ever since. He is truly a gifted artist.

[domeyhead1]

First became aware of Willy on a UK Jethro Tull tour....Him and Martin Barre trading acoustic licks for fun before the start of the main show - but when Willy played "Breathe" he just moved up two gears and left everyone else behind. A true virtuoso.

[bonemarrow30]

finally someone i can compair to Colin Hay.

[bonemarrow30]

finally someone i can compair to Colin Hay.

[leftymcmatty]

MAN!!!! wish I could play like that!!

[jtbnin]

Willy is THE best artist who flys under the radar...on purpose. You have got to see him live!

[ghendric]

Awesome! Brrr!!! I got a Moonbeam shiver...

[fearthetube]

Turned onto him by a Female Folk Artist in Madison (Tracy Jane Comer)...he's incredible...come back to NC soon so I can see this live.

[peachesanddream]

This guy is one of the sickest song writers out there. GET THE WORD OUT, this guy can play and his voice is incredible.

[ChronicSkronski]

This is freakin' brilliant. Willy is insanely talented.
