Will draws from his love for all kinds of music to craft an
addictive blend of pop melody, funk rhythm, jazz sensibility
and visceral blues emotion. Deftly rhythmic lyrics and
picturesque stories are woven throughout, delivered by a
strong clear voice over agile and densely complex guitar.
In addition to his original music, Will performs and
extensive and wide ranging list of familiar songs. The list
ranges from Marvin Gaye to The Beatles to U2 to Coldplay and
on and on.
Although he’s now an established regional solo artist, Will
cultivated his singular style with tenures in an eclectic
chain of bands. They included progressive rock (Sign of
Life), brit pop (Up Ten Yen), acid jazz (Headz) and jazz and
blues influenced pop (Big Drunk Dummy) as well as top 40, funk
and other combos. He has played shows with an equally diverse
group of artists including Styx, Pat Benatar, Tony McAlpine,
The Smithereens, Monte Montgomery and The Greyboy Allstars.
And there’s something for everyone in Will’s riveting
melodies, kinetic grooves and lyrics of love, loss, humor
and pain. Even girls like it, well, the music anyway.

Cheshier blends jazz, pop, funk and blues with
inspired lyrics to achieve a funky mix of poppy folk
songs. The fascinating guitar technique and soothing
vocals on his debut EP, Eleven to Nine, captivate
listeners and emphasize his confounding song writing
ability.
-Pittsburgh Pulp
An acoustic project that shines the spotlight on his
guitar technique and staggering song writing ability.
… It doesn’t take long at all to hear and respect
the talent that bleeds through. …see how you too can
experience the magic.
-Rikk’s Revues.com
Man this guy is cool! I really dig this disc. The
guitar is outstanding! And you know I don’t say that
lightly.
… I can’t rave about the acoustic guitar playing
enough. Will Cheshier has a Dave Matthews meets the
Bare Naked Ladies sound and I can’t wait to hear
the full CD
-South of Main Stream.com
Thank you, Will Cheshier. Thank you for not being
afraid of a little honesty in your song writing. This
most important of virtues is sorely lacking in too
much of today’s music.
…his guitar skills are what make eleven to nine stand
out… from the driven chug on “the heart of a fool”
to the flowing line that gives “song for no one” its
strong emotional pull.
