Il se fait fabriquer ses instruments originaux mêlant ainsi sa passion de la musique et du bois.

Avec son style Old School inspiré par Led Zep , BBKing et la Motown il veut traverser les continents pour jouer et partager sa musique avec le monde entier.

Through the following years, he wanted more purity in his music so that he started to give concert alone on stage. Then, the Weissenborn guitar, also played by Ben Harper, put a spell on him.

Will Barber Atypique ?

Is Will Barber unusual ?

Atypique avec sa force tranquille sur scène et sa timidité.

Atypique parce qu’il convoque autour de lui bien des sons que l'on nous a fait oublier. Il nous rappelle les Floyd, Creedence, Lynyrd ou les Stones. Et les plus obscurs bluesmen comme les gratteux folk de Greenwich.

Will c’est le gars qui a toujours ce bon regard vers son public quand, parfois, ses yeux s’ouvrent ou quittent sa guitare.

Authentique et disponible,

Will Barber a sorti son premier album "Alone" fin 2018. Cet album lui a permis de jouer avec de grands artistes, et d’exporter sa musique a l’étranger.

Passé par l’étape Power Trio pendant plusieurs années, Will sort son second opus intitulé "13” en mars 2023, qui est le 1er album intégrant de nouveaux musiciens, lui permettant de continuer à développer la vision de son univers “New Roots”.

His peaceful and shy presence on stage, certainly are.

He's unusual because he surrounds himself with sounds we have forgotten. He reminds us of Pink Floyd, Creedence, Lynyrd or even the Rolling Stones and the most obscure bluesmen like the guitar player folks of Greenwich.

Will, that's the guy who always turns his eyes full of kindness towards his audience, when those eyes open or leave his guitar.

Authentic and available, Will Barber released his first album "Alone" in late 2018. This album allowed him to play with great artists, and to export his music abroad.
