Willa and Company

blues, soul, rock, funk

A newly minted NY State Blues Hall of Fame inductee (August, 2018), Singer/songwriter Willa Vincitore has been building a fan base across the Hudson Valley for nearly two decades. While her songwriting is an eclectic mix of blues, soul, rock, funk and (occasionally) pop, there's one thing that ties it all together - that voice.

Willa's debut CD, Better Days, was released in 2017 and was critically acclaimed by reviewers around the globe. The Blues and Roots Music Report listed it as one of the Top 50 Contemporary Blues releases of 2017.

She spent the early part of her stage career backing Chris O'Leary as an original member of his band, but she's been performing on her own with a collection of extraordinary musicians since 2013. The Company of "Willa and Company," which rotates and changes based on each individual performance's spin, can be stripped bare or piled high. Check out her shows to experience the versatility and range.

Company musicians have included Chris Vitarello, Petey Hop, and Karl Allweier on guitar; Doug Abramson, Brandon Morrison, and Karl Allweier on bass; Scott Milici, Pete Levin, Jeremy Baum, and Will Bryant on keys/Hammond; Lee Falco, Roger LaRochelle, Chris Kaiser, and Gary Schwartz on drums; and killer horn sections featuring Chris DiFrancesco, Ron Knittle, Jim Osborn, and Joe Meo.

"Willa Vincitore has one of those voices that will stay with you for life."

- Bill Wilson, Reflections in Blue
