WvW_and_the_Sixpins

The realm of Americana music is a large and messy place. Nestled comfortably deep within the schizophrenia sits Wil Van Winkle & the Sixpins. The band's style ranges from Rock to Country with noticeable Blues influences, which is even more apparent when delving into their set lists consisting of original material from Wil's solo days, time with the Hardcore Troubadours from Germany, and time with Raindance from Uzbekistan, as well as material from the band's debut EP, 'The Perpetual Club of Sages, Philosophers, and Other Idle Personages', and the follow-up "The Diedrich Knickerbocker Diaries, volume 1" both of which take their names from the Washington Irving folk story "Rip Van Winkle". The band consists of Wil Van Winkle: Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin; Zach Mears: Guitars; Allen Atkinson: Bass; and Butch Bellah: Drums.
