Bio
WILL YOUNG MIX brings the soul of New Orleans, the grit of classic rock, and the raw energy of the blues to a solo performance that is anything but ordinary. A seasoned musician with a background spanning live entertainment, hospitality, and audiovisual production, Will Young has spent years on both sides of the stage — developing and operating recognizable New Orleans entertainment venues while creating music and producing live experiences. Armed with a guitar, a powerful and expressive voice, and an instinct for putting his own stamp on familiar songs, Will Young Mix delivers blues, rock, Americana, and reimagined classics with authenticity and unmistakable New Orleans character.
