Bio
Somewhere between Bob Seger & Waylon Jennings lies the "Montucky Sound."
"Songwriting is a cornerstone to who I am. I feel I am translating my soul by defining these emotion through lyric and song."
Willy James
I am a guitar slinging, soul singing, melody chasing, purpose driven poet.
My live shows have something for everyone. I have over 6 hours of renditions and over 1,000 originals spanning multiple genres.
I have played festivals, theaters, bars, breweries, distilleries, wineries, listening rooms, street dances, weddings, funerals, back alleys, benches, sidewalks, mountain tops, and campfires.
If you want to have an event with tunes, tales, and good times.
I'm your huckleberry!

FREELANCE SONGWRITING SERVICE
I offer one of a kind melodies for life's once in a lifetime moments.
I have worked with people to have a 1st dance song, a memorial for a lost loved one, or using songwriting as a outlet to overcome. The possibilities are endless. If you want a song I can write it!
