WILLET

As the lead singer of a band that's endured a few line-up changes and a name change, Jeremy Willet has been a part of the LifeLight Festival for several years now. Willet is the name, and three brothers joining forces is what it consists of. As the years have gone by these guys have grown into being one of the most exciting up and coming bands we've seen in awhile. They were just with us on the LifeLight Tour in Colorado in June. I have always enjoyed seeing these guys perform but hadnt seen them since the 2007 Festival in which I caught one song of their set. As I watched their set 5 nights in a row during the Colorado Tour, I became a Willet fan all over again. Their live show is packed with energy, sick guitar solos, a crazy drummer, and one incredible instrumental song that is ...... motivating and something you wouldnt expect from a hardcore band as these guys. If you enjoy some good in your face rock-n-roll, then mark this down on your list of shows you dont want to miss, Sunday at 6:30pm on Souled Out Stage!

BIOGRAPHY:

WILLET is a Rock Band out of Westminster, MD made up of brothers, Jeremy, Justin, and Jordan Willet. Willet tours nationally full time, performing over 250 dates per year.

Jeremy, Justin and Jordan grew up in a Christian home taking piano lessons from their father, which resulted in expanding to other instruments such as bass, drums and guitar. Being that the Willet brothers have always shared a close relationship both musically, and relationally, they pursued a vision to help kids all over the world.

WILLET has always attempted to go above and beyond expectations when it comes to live show performance. The band appears in secular clubs, as well as Christian venues, where they portray a message of hope for Africa, and HIV/AIDS victims through FOOD FOR THE HUNGRY (FH) child sponsorship. Over the past 5 years, over 500 children have been sponsored through WILLET’S participation with child sponsorship, raising over $500,000 for orphaned children in Africa.

Inspired by the 3 brothers that make up CHEVELLE, plus a deep root for integrity, and a passion for an intense live show, the band tours the country full time sharing their music. WILLET can be compared to BLINDSIDE, PROJECT 86 AND CHEVELLE.
