Will Branch 2008

As a musician, Will Branch has played around 2,000 shows in the past ten years. He's performed in bars, on boats, on the street, in coffeehouses, for young and old and all ages in-between. He's written his own songs and put his own stamp on music of the past. After years as a band member and bandleader, as well as many years in a successful duo, Branch is hitting the road as a solo act with renewed energy.

Branch played guitar, sang and wrote songs for several years in John the Conqueroo, a modern-day jug band that performed on mostly homemade instruments, including a washtub bass and an electric slide guitar made from a steam tray. The Conqueroo made a CD and toured nationally under their own steam, playing extended stays in Austin and New Orleans, all the while maintaining a bread-and-butter schedule around the midwest. more...
