Chilliwack – Vancouver Island indie-folk singer-songwriter WiL, Brings his Western Canadian tour to Chilliwack Cultural Centre – Thursday October 22.
Vancouver Island indie-folk singer-songwriter WiL returns with his captivating new single “Pieces” out now on all digital streaming platforms, along with an intimate live version and live performance video. Co-produced by WiL and acclaimed alt-country singer-songwriter and Dirty Windshields (CKUA) host Leeroy Stagger, “Pieces” is built around WiL’s deep, commanding vocals, distinctive guitar work, and warm, organic instrumentation. Stripped of unnecessary embellishment, the song captures the intimacy at the heart of its subject: the fleeting moments and connections that, taken together, make up a life. The idea for “Pieces” first emerged from a potential composition project for a media campaign. WiL had been asked to write music and lyrics to picture, and one particular image stayed with him: a woman running freely across the sand toward a lake, looking back over her shoulder with a sense of joy and vitality that immediately sparked something.
Known for a fiercely distinctive guitar style, deep velvety vocals, and an unflinching approach to songwriting, WiL blends the raw acoustic intimacy of Ray LaMontagne with rich, organic instrumentation and the percussive explosiveness of Nathaniel Rateliff. His songs dig into life’s deeper, darker corners with honesty and a wry sense of humanity – a compelling contrast for an artist equally known for his onstage hilarity, off-the-cuff rants, and sweat-soaked, string-breaking live performances.
“Pieces” is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more info, please visit wilandcompany.com.
