Daphne Willis & Co. Bio
Daphne Willis is the personable and impassioned front woman of the riff driven acoustic rock band, Daphne Willis & Co. Unique and fresh, and still evolving, the band's magnetic sound is driven by Daphne's rich, soothing vocals (think Norah Jones meets Jack Johnson but with a rocking band), coupled with a songwriting prowess that features thought provoking lyrics that stray from the typical twenty year old singer/songwriter clichés. Willis is backed by a supporting lineup of all-star musicians from Berklee and Columbia schools of music. The band's sound is not forced or predictable, but honest, fun and engaging. It is hard to tell who enjoys their live shows more – the audience or the band. From Sept '07 through Dec of '07, they played over 70 shows throughout the Midwest, including notable venues such as Schuba’s in Chicago, The Annex in Madison, First Avenue in Minneapolis, and the River Roots Live Festival in Davenport. In 2008 the band will tour North America, and is aiming to play over 200 shows. Great music begins with a great song, from there, it is interpreted and expressed by great musicians, and sometimes even that isn't enough; however when you have a true ensemble that introduces the chemistry of a collective passion, dedication and belief, well, it changes the game and you get something real… you get Daphne Willis & Co.
I do want to come to Martyrs, maybe Griff aka teen wolf will come with me. Not gonna be in the city this weekend, but hopefuly I'll make it out next week. Peace

You should come down south and tour. I would love to see you. If you can't come to the tiny capital of columbia South Carolina, I wouldn't mind driving to charlotte, Atlanta, myrtle beach or charleston. Just an idea.
