The John Willingham Band plays an eclectic mix of rock and pop from the 1960s to today, from the deep well of The Beatles and Dylan, through the gifted songwriters of the 70s (Paul Simon, Warren Zevon, Van Morrison), to the alternative rock of the 80s (R.E.M., Elvis Costello, Squeeze ), and the many great bands and songwriters of the 2000s (Wilco, Jason Isbell, David Gray). The thread that ties it all together is a love of engaging melody, lush harmony and songcraft. The hits are covered but the B-sides and rarities are on the menu as well.
