Café Champlain – Lyndsay Wills and the No Frills String Band - Join us for a evening of entertainment as we present Lyndsay Wills and the No Frills String Band!
About the band: Lyndsay Wills has been a singer/songwriter much of her life but was always on the periphery until a few years ago, when she started writing some songs for a cd. It will finally be released in a few months and is called "Flight Risk". Lyndsay's songs have been described as lyrically griping and emotional and her performances "moving" because she can hold her audience and is "in the moment".
Her musical background includes old-time, bluegrass and folk music. She plays banjo and guitar as well as a few other instruments and also performs solo in various venues. Mike Gix grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and developed an interest and love for old-time fiddle tunes through exposure to the old-time concert and jamming scenes in S.F, Berkeley, and beyond. Vancouver has been his home for many years now. Mike also plays with an old-time band called the Heretics and is a great fiddler.
Together, Lyndsay and Mike will play and sing for you some old-time fiddle tunes and songs as well as some original songs by Lyndsay. They're bound to get your toes tapping!
