Piano, Keyboard.ABOUT
A west coast blend of soulful vocals and pop/rock sensibilities, Williford started as a recording project for the band’s founding member Scott Williford. Mining the studio talents of former bandmates in local outfits such as Grey and Nema-7, the Bay Area singer/songwriter decided to put some previously neglected material to tape. Pure amplification was abandoned for a more organic approach, the result of which is the 5 song self-recorded and produced EP, Metropolitan Blues.------Coming up next: Scott W. recruited stylistically eclectic players allowing his R & B meets Psych-Pop hybrid to translate to the stage. During the process of finalizing arrangements with the current line up, new material was thrown into the mix, and Williford’s live experience – while at times punched up – remains authentic, smart and varied.
