Excellent performer

We met Will about 18 months ago when he was doing some solo work at a local bar, loved him and watched the calendar to catch him when he would be there. We asked him to perform at my husband's 50th birthday party last year. Everyone was so impressed with his work and thought it was such a great personal touch to have live music. He just played again for a party my brother was having and again, did not disappoint! He aims to please always. He will ask ahead of time what type of music you want him to play and if there are any specific requests he can work on. He is very personable and makes me people laugh, fits in great in any group and is a fantastic singer/guitar player. We are definitely part of his fan club and would highly recommend him to anybody.

An Exceptional and Skilled Artist

Will Purdy is an exceptional Musician/Performer with experience from on the spot cover requests to beautiful original pieces. I have worked with him musically in the past and recently chose him to write me an instrumental piece for me to walk down the isle to on my wedding day. He did a beautiful job and I can't thank him enough! He is a pleasure to work with and is always open to new and different ideas in the world of music. Will always remains positive and continues to work hard to perfect his skills and make sure his audience/clients are always 100% satisfied and enjoying themselves. I recommend Will Purdy for any gig. You definitely will not be disappointed. Thank you for my Wedding March Song, Will!!
