Willie
MacCaulder
Pianist
Willie MacCalder is exceptional. He plays rollicking,
Boogie piano that easily challenges Johnnie Johnson
for the top spot. Willie MacCalder covers a wide range
of solo Blues and R&B styles, mixing traditional
songs and originals, boogies and barrelhouse, singing
in a laid back, weary-sounding Jerry Lee Lewis-style
that suits his piano playing very well.
Willies trademark piano stylings of pounding the
keys and driving the band have won him a number of music
poll awards and c ontribute greatly to the Powder
Blues instantly identifiable sound!
As a solist or part of a band, Willie songs found on
his album "Broken Down Piano" are audience
participation songs that he put to good use and will
having your audience doing the Boogie Woogie in no time!
Considered to be among Canada's finest Blues and Boogie
style Pianists, Willie has performed and recorded with
many of the greatest Blues musicians in the world, including
John Hammond, Taj Mahal, Albert Collins, Otis Rush and
James Cotton.
