Band Review: Cadillac Willy

Cadillac Willy continues to bring soul and blues wrapped up in classic rock jam band package.

Sometimes the most musically interesting experiences are when you don’t know what to expect – and that is part of Cadillac Willy’s charm.  With a far-reaching history in the area’s music scene you just never know who could sit in for a set, drop by for a special song, or spontaneously join the guys on stage.

Although the name has been long etched into my brain as a big part of the local music scene – this was my first time making it to a show.   I wasn’t quite sure what was in store – but it was a great exploration into Marvin Gaye, The Rolling Stones, and the Grateful Dead to name a few.  Pretty much the prefect selection of songs to kick back and watch the sun go down over Alys beach.

The band does have its own website (http://cadillacwilly.freeservers.com/), but the best place to get the most up-to-date gig listings seems to be the local Beachcomber magazine which can be viewed in its entirety online here: http://www.thebeachcomber.org/index.html
