If you’ve ever been to a show you know that Willi Carlisle is larger than life. He towers over you with a warm smile and a handshake, and his songs can run the gamut of emotions from hilarious (Van Life and Boy Howdy Hot Dog!) to angst (Cheap Cocaine) to melancholy and loss (Tulsa’s Last Magician). The multi-instrumentalist never holds back and always shares the best of his talents and lessons learned (or still being learned) with his audience.
