About This Event
7/22 Wednesday Garret T. Willie 8pm Free
Genre: Blues/Rock
Garret T. Willie is a 25 year old AC/DC loving Indigenous bluesman from Kingcome Inlet in British Columbia who has quickly risen as one of Canada’s most compelling voices in blues and rock…now poised to launch in the US and worldwide! With a style that merges the grit of classic rock with the soul of blues, Garret’s virtuoso guitar work and emotionally resonant vocals are unmistakingly his own. Dubbed the “the next big thing in down-and-dirty rockin blues guitardom” by The Toronto Star, Garrent has shared the stage with Joe Bonamassa, Marcus King, Kingfish, as well as rock legends Nickleback and Def Leppard. Sophomore album Bill’s Cafe will be released in February 2026 (Gulf Coast Records/Virgin US) and produced by Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Susan Tedeschi, more). “From the blistering opening cut, a rampage of blockbuster chords, squealing guitar and barrel house piano, our gravel-voiced Willie comes on like an unashamedly macho blend of AC/DC and Howlin’ Wolf.” -MOJO (4 stars, June 2026)
