| BACKGROUND/COMPOSITION: |
| Remember that guy in high school who never used to come out and drink because he was holed up in his basement practicing guitar for a band that never materialized? Well, he grew up to be Wil — one of this country's most talented singer/songwriters. What has your partying gotten you? |
| Comment:It took a few moments for the crowd to realize Wil (all alone with his guitar) was actually a performer and not just setting up for closer Young Rival. A few songs into his set, the crowd was still in disbelief because Wil was so astoundingly good. A Rivoli cook, mesmerized, stopped to watch for several minutes on her way to the back room. |

Wil: "Anyone else eat a pack of Halls before they get on stage? You don't need to drink, just eat a pack of Halls. That stuff will see you through some times." It's nice to see the art of dispensing wisdom to your audience hasn't died. |

Best. Acoustic. Guitar. Player. Ever. No joke — this man is gifted. He was doing things with his hands that most people wouldn't be able to pull off after a lifetime of practice. He can perfectly tune a guitar to any configuration in less than 10 seconds. He can make that one instrument sound like an entire band. |

Wil had new strings on his guitar. This was obvious from the foot-and-a-half long loose ends that were sticking out from the headstock. You really need to clip those things, Wil; they could take out an eye. He knew it was going to be a sweaty night, but at least he had some fun with it: "I look like a honey-baked ham."
