William Mimnaugh (wiL) is a contemporary roots artist who makes his home on Vancouver Island, Canada. Known for his fiery live show, enigmatic stage presence and mad skill with an acoustic guitar, the 49 year old front man (he tours with a drummer, and, on occasion adds players) is also known for penning 'Roam' flagship anthem to Travel Alberta's stunning media campaign, 'Remember to Breathe'. Not one for school, WiL's youth consisted of skateboarding and holing himself up listening to music; everything from Chet Atkins to ACDC but It wasn't until 1998, after hearing the flagrant use of an overdrive pedal on an acoustic guitar in Neutral Milk Hotels 'In an Aeroplane over the Sea', that he really started refining and defining his own particular sound and style , cultivated through years of experience both on and off the road. As such he has earned himself the honour of sharing the stage with a host of music heavyweights including Ray LaMontagne, Mavis Staples, Burton Cummings and most recently, Bryan Adams. 　　January 14th 2020, the first of rather jam packed roster of music will be hitting digital retailers. Kicking it off are two alternative versions of a track called 'My Friend', the cover song 'Drive', followed by a live album in mid February and the long awaited studio album 'Gold Mine' in early spring.
