Will West & The Friendly Strangers
Modern folk
The longtime Portland
based songwriter Will West relocated to his home state of North Carolina in
early 2020. He's getting the band back together for a reunion show at The
White Eagle Saloon. For this special event, the band will feature Tanner
Cundy (guitar), Jeff Simpson (trumpet, keys), Julio Appling (upright bass),
Chad Kimbler (mandolin) and Don Henson (drums, percussion, xylophone).
Together they'll take you on a lively sonic adventure through elements of Americana, Pop &
Bluegrass with a psychedelic touch.
This show should Sell Out - Advance Tickets are encouraged.
Will West & The Friendly Strangers have released 3 albums.
"Take this Moment" (2011)
"Sunshine" (2012)
"Live Vol 1" (2017)
In 2010 he began to form a band of stellar musicians called The Friendly
Strangers. Live shows are engaging and fun for all ages. They often
perform live in various Trios and Quartet line-ups, but they'll bring out the
6-piece party band for special events and festivals.
Will West has just started to get into the NW Festival Circuit with recent
performances at Wildwood Musicfest, Juniper Jam, Pinefest, Brewcamp &
Manzanita Music Festival. They've shared the stage with Ryan Montbleau, Sallie
Ford & The Sound Outside, Vintage Trouble, The Lumineers, Fruition, Dirty
Revival, Scott Pemberton, Cascade Crescendo, Poor Man's Whiskey, The Druthers,
Lewi Longmire and many more over the past 10 yrs.
