    Biography:
    AL WILLIS is back on the scene with two musicians - Pascal Albrecht on double bass & Red Dennis on drums - the NEW SWINGSTERS. As a trio, they play 50s style Rockabilly... What else…?!? Al’s voice (stronger than ever) and his guitar playing (right out of the Merle Travis school) are sure to please. After each performance by Al Willis & his dynamic New Swingsters, positive feedback is always a sure bet with satisfied faces and shouts for more! Al Willis is definitely back, alive and kicking. The next album is scheduled for the end of 2017 but in the meantime a CD/vinyl EP package has been served as an appetizer. Their last CD, now sold out, was released in April 2008 on “Crazy Times Records”; a French label managed by Crazy Little Peter (of “Crazy Times Music”). Over the years, many promoters have enjoyed the band leading to some major events on the rocking scene. The Band has performed at the “Rockabilly Rave”, Screamin’, Ubangi Stomp, Rockin' At The Drive-In barn…and they are eager for more! Do yourself a favour; don’t miss the opportunity to book them, you won’t regret it. If you’re interested in contacting the band for future events, please feel free to DO so! However, Al Willis’s gigs are still in short supply these days, so we strongly advise you to book EARLY.
