WILLIS EARL BEAL

Event information

Willis Earl Beal manages to create warm, visceral and moving music seemingly out of nothing, just a little bit of imagination - it's practically magic done without any fancy gadgetry. He made dozens of songs using whatever spare instruments and materials he could find in Albuquerque's flea markets, thrift stores and alleyways. a red electric guitar, forgotten acoustic guitars, a lap harp, a makeshift drum kit created from pots and pans. His debut album Acousmatic Sorcery is out now on XL Recordings.
