David Oliver Willis is a former American Idol Top 40 Finalist. Inspired by music from Otis Redding, Nina Simone and Sam Cooke; Willis has a voice that fits right in with modern sounds of Alabama Shakes and Aloe Blacc, This singer is a native of nearby Mount Dora. He is currently working on material for his first full-length album of original music, much of which has only ever been heard at his electrifying live shows. Backed by a tight band of friends and family, their live performances are quickly achieving legendary status. Effortlessly nailing sounds of breezy Americana to fire-and-brimstone rock ’n roll, this band never fails to bring the crowd to their feet, shouting for more.
