“How good is Will Dailey? HE WROTE A SONG CALLED “WHEN IT DIES” THAT MAGICALLY UPLIFTS. A GEM OF A MELODY SITS AT THE CENTER OF A WONDERFULLY MUSICAL MESS WITH HUGE VOCALS. ALL AT ONCE THE TUNE RECALLS JAMES TAYLOR’S SIMPLICITY, RAY LAMONTAGNE’S INTENSITY AND TOM WAITS’ WEIRDNESS. The rest of the new album, ‘Golden Walker ,’ possesses the same magic ....A new peak.”
-The Boston Herald -
Will Dailey is a Boston...no, NATIONAL treasure. His songwriting is as good as songwriting gets. He's a producer, advocate, singer, songwriter, guitarist and human being of the very highest order.
Songwriters, by their very nature, move through life not only from the inside out, but also from the outside in. They look and listen at the worlds within and around them, pulling it all in and pouring it all out in melody. The barriers between personal and political, fact and fiction, us and them do not exist within the confines of a song. Music is about connecting hearts through art, as singer/songwriter Will Dailey well proves on his 2023 offering, Golden Walker, calling on us to turn away from our screens and toward each other.
“I want the people who do participate [by listening] to feel a higher value for their time and their connection to music,” Dailey explains. “The only mistake I can make is letting something called a ‘stream count’ make me deviate from that calling.”
Will Dailey is an acclaimed independent recording and performing artist. His sound has been described as having a rich vintage vibe while having a firm appreciation of AM rock, pop and big hooks leading famed Rock journalist Dan Aquilante to call him “the real deal”. Dailey's monumental album, National Throat, was met with stellar reviews, over 8 million spins on Spotify, top 20 on Billboard Heat Seeker chart and won Album of the Year in the Boston Music Awards, New England Music Awards and Improper Bostonian Magazine. Dailey, who is already a three-time winner of the Boston Music Award for Best Singer/Songwriter and two time winner for Male vocalist also won Artist of the Year in 2014. Most recently in 2016 he shared the stage with Eddie Vedder in Chicago this summer, joining him for 5 songs for the Hot Stove Cool Music Benefit and was direct support for G Love’s summer tour. In June of 2013 he was featured on a Stephen King/John Mellencamp project produced by T Bone Burnett called Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County and, in that same year, also released an original song he wrote inspired by Jack Kerouac's Tristessa. In September of 2013 he played his fourth Farm Aid Concert along side Neil Young, Willie Nelson, Dave Matthews and John Mellencamp. Dailey's music has been featured on over 50 TV programs and films and is now back in the studio recording some exclusive material for fans and the follow up to National Throat in 2017. Dailey has become an artist to watch not just now but indefinitely.
