Willoughby? Maybe its wishful thinking nestled in a hidden part of a man's mind, or maybe it's the
last stop in the vast design of things-or perhaps, for a man like Gart Williams, who climbed on a world that went too fast,
it's a place around the bend where he could jump off, Willoughby? Whatever it is, it comes with sunlight and serenity. Rarely
has popular culture so succinctly depicted the despartion felt by so many American urban commuters locked into corporate boxes
for life-with little time to really live. Songwriter/pianist/bandleader Gart Williams understands. The music
he writes-and performs with musical cohorts Mike Wood (vocals, keyboard and bass) Josh Ribakove (vocals guitar and drums)
and Nigel Schnebler (percussion) is more than unique. This music holds deep truths, secret longings, and an unquenchable thirst
for something better, for something more. Existing quietly on the timeless border of pop, jazz, American standards and psychedelia,
these songs ring with three part harmony, with vocal melodies that stay with the listener, harkening back to a time when simple
relaxation was actually a possibility. The Next Stop is Willoughby.
