"The unofficial poet laureate of New York City." –UncutThe New York Times called Buffalo, NY-born Willie Nile "one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years." Uncut Magazine called him “A one-man Clash” and “the unofficial poet laureate of New York City”. His album Streets Of New York was hailed as “a platter for the ages” by Uncut. Rolling Stone listed The Innocent Ones as one of the “Top Ten Best Under-The-Radar Albums of 2011” and BBC Radio called it “THE rock ‘n’ roll album of the year.” His single from that album, “One Guitar,” was the “Top Pick of the Week” in USA Today.
Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, Jim Jarmusch, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises.
Willie has a new album called The Great Yellow Light. MOJO gave it 4 Stars and wrote: "On his 21st album in a career of remarkable consistency, he again delivers a batch of classic rock 'n' roll." Poet Richard Hoffman wrote: "It's a masterpiece! The title track brought me to tears. An album that can make you dance and make you cry. R 'n' R at its best." PowerPop Magazine wrote: "Nile has the Mark of the Bard upon him." Willie will be touring in Europe and in North America this year in support of the new album and lives in New York City.
