Willi Carlisle is a poet and a folk singer for the people. His insatiable style is obvious in his wildly raucous live performances, where songs range from sardonic trucker-ballads, to the heartbreaking queer waltz, to an existential talkin' blues about a panic attack in Walmart. With guitar, fiddle, button-box, banjo, harmonicas, rhythm-bones, and Willi's booming baritone, this is bonafide populist folk music in the tradition of cowboys, frontier fiddlers, and tall-tale tellers.
