Biography

Who is Catfish Willie?

He is a gifted singer and guitarist who has shared stages with many Rock notables- acts such as ZZ Top, The Allman Brothers Band and The Black Crowes and, in the blues world, legends such as Son Seals, Buddy Guy and Otis Rush, to name just a few. Some prefer Willie's alt country side but most enjoy the mix of all things "Catfish Willie".

As a vocalist, his voice has a straight from the earth almost "backwoods narrator" cadence. As a guitarist, he controls the dynamics of the band - from gentle grooves that you strain to hear to full-on "old school" inferno... and every spot in between. Plus the band features Sweet T, who's New Orleans style piano, funky organ, lead and harmony vocals give the band continued "old school" credibility. Then there is the virtual rhythm machine, Mr. Ralph on bass and the third vocal harmony. Let's just say that he's a Bad Ass! Then to round it out is Joe Fox. Quite possibly the most entertaining drummer on the planet who, with a 3 piece drum kit will blow your mind.....
