Childhelp Cooling Pond Benefit Concert on September 16
Friday, September 16, 2022 (5:30 PM – 9:00 PM) (EDT)
Description
Headliner WIL GRAVATT
Wil has performed for three U.S. Presidents, and travelled the world with his music.
He calls Fredericksburg, Virginia his home.
Wil has the stylistic sensibility of a musician who has explored and performed many genres.
A dichotomous journey from singing drummer in a punk band –
to frontman for the country & western powerhouse Wil Gravatt Band.
A new EP project in 2019 (The Nashville Sessions) paired Wil with Grammy-winning producer Ray Kennedy
(producer of such stellar artists as Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, John Mellencamp, & Taylor Swift.)
One listen to the fiddle-laden, rollicking “Carnival Girl” gives you a sense of the talent
behind the songwriting, performance, and production of the entire album.
The EP was subsequently nominated for “Best Country Album” by the Washington Area Music Awards.
