Garret T. Willie at The Shakedown

With Cowboy Guts and Kyle’s Cosmic Country Band. 

Garret T. Willie’s second album, Bill’s Cafe, is more than a record —it’s a tribute and a reckoning. Named after his grandfather’s pool hall Cafe in Alert Bay, British Columbia, the album ties his roots to the bright lights of Nashville, where Willie recorded with Grammy-winning producer Tom Hambridge. Bill’s Cafe is a road map of grit, heart, and soul. 

Written between late nights, long drives, and Nashville sessions, the album captures the restless spirit of a young artist carrying old-soul blues and rock traditions into the future. With a voice that cuts like hi-beam headlights and guitar playing that shreds without gimmicks, Willie delivers songs about love, loss, addiction, and ambition —truth-telling wrapped in raw energy. 

At 26, Willie has already proven himself on stage, channeling a lived-in blues power that feels far beyond his years.
