The contemporary Christian band Willet will be in concert on Friday, March 30 at 7 pm at the Otterbein United Methodist Church in Pittsfield, PA. Tickets are just $5.
After being raised in a Christian home with years of music lessons from their father, 3 brothers from Maryland (Jeremy, Justin & Jordan) started a rock band in 2006, touring simply under their last name, Willet. Since that time, the band has been touring full time (performing over 150 shows per year), recorded and released 6 studio albums, sold over 20,000 records, won independent music awards, and landed several independent #1 radio singles.
Although many considered the band “successful” in the music industry, these achievements took second place to the main focus of the group. Through Willet tours, over 2,500 'Food for the Hungry' children living in extreme poverty have been sponsored & the band has led several trips to Ethiopia, Mozambique, Uganda & Haiti to visit the children. In addition, Jeremy and his wife, Kathleen, lived in Haiti for a year (2009-2010) where Kathleen served as a community development facilitator during the January 2010 earthquake.
In 2011, the band added Tyler Klusmann from South Dakota as a studio & touring drummer. The band's latest release is 'LOVE ON THE OUTSIDE E.P.' (2012) produced by Grammy Nominated, Aaron Gillespie (Underoath, The Almost).
Here's a sample of their music...
