About

Hypnotic Willie is a five-piece group playing cover songs from the realms of roots, rock, soul, blues and Americana. The band plays with a gritty, honest and intimate style that invites folks to join the party. It’s like all the good things about a Jug Band, but without the jug. Or Jug-music. Or anything Jug-related for that matter. Hypnotic Willie is like all the good things about music. True story.

Additional booking notes

The band is very familiar in playing performance stages as well as more intimate environments. The band can provide full production of sound and lighting in most locations. We can provide a stage plot on request.
