Those who have been reading NMM since the start (all two of you) will remember me talking about a roots-based singer-songwriter from Calgary about a year ago, named Wil Mimnaugh (mostly known as just “Wil”). Here’s what I said at the time:
Wil got his start in Calgary playing local stages, playing covers from the likes of The Verve, Pearl Jam, and the Violent Femmes, and when you combine that with early childhood influences like Hank Williams and Simon & Garfunkel, you get a unique and powerful sound that makes Wil a extraordinary talent.When you’re in the mood for something a little slower and more relaxing, maybe some Saturday afternoon barbeque music, check him out – you’ll be glad you did.
Well, if you’re in Alberta this week (specifically Edmonton, Calgary, or Canmore), you’re in for a treat, because Wil’s playing all three cities in less than seven days. Details follow; for more information check out Wil’s website at www.ibreakstrings.com.
