John Willis Interview - A-List First Call Session Player over 30 years - ELG#163 Feb 17, 2018

Show notes

Talk about someone who's decisive! John literally packed up and moved across country and then from Alabama to Nashville, to hustle up some work. But what's really amazing is the story of how he was recommended for steady session work… by not one, not two, but 3 separate keyboard players who also happened to be producers… in 3 separate towns at 3 different times. Think the Universe was trying to tell him something…?

Great lesson about some changes John made in his life, and the tremendous benefits he's gotten in return. This was a great conversation with a class guy who's been an A-List First Call session player for over 30 years, in the most competitive music town in America. Great stories and lessons, and more...
