After making his sensational UK debut at the International Festival of Country Music in 2012, Will Banister returns for his second tour.
The singer and songwriter, who comes from Clovis in New Mexico, appeared again at the festival last Febuary, which was held in London’s Wembley Arena. His six song set was well recieved by the crowd,, bringing them to their feet and clamouring for an encore.
“Playing in London at Wembley Arena was a dream come true” said Banister.
“It was such a pleasure to meet so many fans of traditional country music from the UK. Everyone treated me so nice I can’t wait to come back.”
Will Banister first gained attention when his Turned Her On To Country album gathered a rave review in the consumer monthly Country Music People, leading on to building business with the import dealers. Next the song Turned Her On To Country enjoyed a four week stay at number one in the UK’s weekly Hot Disc charts, ensuring the singer a radio audience way beyond British shores.
Will Banister now follows in the footsteps of Dolly Parton, Don Williams and Boxcar Willie, all of whom launched their successful British careers after similar rapturous festival debuts.
Will Banister is supported on tour by Jake Carter and Jordan Mogey. See him on Friday, June 16 at Brechin City Hall and Saturday, June 17 at Invergordon Social Club.
