Artists:Will Branch
From WWR
|
As a musician, Will Branch has played around 2,000 shows in the past ten years. He's performed in bars, on boats, on the street, in coffeehouses, for young and old and all ages in-between. He's written his own songs and put his own stamp on music of the past. After years as a band member and bandleader, as well as many years in a successful duo, Branch is hitting the road as a solo act with renewed energy.
Branch played guitar, sang and wrote songs for several years in John the Conqueroo, a modern-day jug band that performed on mostly homemade instruments, including a washtub bass and an electric slide guitar made from a steam tray. The Conqueroo made a CD and toured nationally under their own steam, playing extended stays in Austin and New Orleans, all the while maintaining a bread-and-butter schedule around the midwest.
Branch is joined on "Press On" by a cast of some of the best Milwaukee acoustic musicians. Dave Fox contributes old-time fiddle and his washboard skills to several tracks, including "Baltimore Fire," and "Empty Hands." Local legend Ken Haferman makes a rare studio appearance – his banjo leads off the track "Baltimore Fire." Susan Jeske-Dermody and John Nicholson, better known as the acoustic duo Frogwater, are featured on fiddle and guitar, respectively. Nicholson also plays banjo on the title track. Lil' Rev, a successful regional folk musician and award-winning harmonica player, plays mandolin and harmonica on the recording, along with supplying some background vocals. read more.
