Description

WiL's shows have been coined as legendary; his guitar style; ‘mesmerizing’; captivating listeners with his unusual strumming technique while creating lush, fat and full acoustic guitar sounds that have become signature to the enigmatic fiery, silver bearded frontman that heads up the west coast based Indie folk rock outfit known as wiL and Company. Yet, how is it that an artist known for conjuring sensitive singer song craft like Travel Alberta's soaring anthem 'Roam' or the live show tear jerker ‘I’m Sorry’ be the decidedly un-wimpy frontman whose website was coined from routinely breaking strings??? 

 

The answer is found in the juxtaposition of it all. Like life, there is delicate balance between good and bad, light and dark, soft and hard. “I enjoy the profound dichotomy of writing a delicate lovely piece of music and then performing the shit out of it live. It’s unexpected and it can unnerve people; especially if they expected something a bit more tame. I’m not a sit-on-a stool performer. I’ll put my soda cranberry on one but that’s where it ends. If I’m not sweating buckets by the fourth song there is definitely something going wrong”. 

The stage is admittedly where wiL’s light shines the brightest, landing him some pretty cool gigs. Standouts include opening for soul legend Mavis Staples, Canadian Indie darling, Feist and one of his music heroes, Ray LaMontagne.

Like all good stories, this is a story rooted in love.

The seeds of this story were planted way back in the 1970's, when I, Lalita, moved to Kaleden and met the Hayter family. As a youth I would love, laugh, dance, sing, and play on these lands with the Hayter cousins Kris and Myron, eating Grandma Hayters cinnamon toast after school. This family would take over my heart.

Life would happen and we would lose the Hayter cousins at a young age. Grief would move my feet to travel, but eventually these feet would bring me back home to raise my own family.

To return a lifetime later to these lands and these beautiful people completes a circle in my life, full bloom.

It is my honor to be given the opportunity to operate Frog City Cafe with my husband and hold space for love, laughter, dancing, singing, and playing.

This is a love story. This is Frog City Cafe.
