Category: Travels w/ Frankie Valli

Hi everyone! I hope 2019 is going well. Since our last shows in Canada we’ve been relaxing at home in LA and rehearsing some new arrangements for the songs in the show. I’ve also done a few fun shows with the Stevie Nicks tribute band “Gypsy”.
We go back out on tour with Frankie this weekend with shows in San Diego, CA. Las Vegas, NV. and Modesto, CA. I’m looking forward to playing the shows and seeing some longtime friends and fans. Stay cool everyone, the summer has arrived in California! Best, Wil

What a great year this has been. I started touring with this musical legend in April and have been on bass guitar in his band in front of thousands of adoring fans in incredible arenas and theaters here in the U.S. and in the UK. The highlights include playing Radio City Music Hall and our tour through the UK. All sold out venues. In fact it’s been mentioned by the production crew that Frankie is a bigger draw live now than he has ever been! Thanks to the Jersey Boys production and the timeless nature of songs like “My Eyes Adored You” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You”, he now has a following that covers 3 generations!

We just finished our last three shows of the year. We played in Macon, GA., Birmingham, AL., and Bossier City, LA. Photos of these venues below as we set up.

Thanks to all friends, family, and fans that made this a great year! Here’s to 2019!!

What a blast this trip has been. This was an amazing tour! To be on bass guitar, with the legend Frankie Valli, with this band and crew, and the incredible fans!!

Although the band and the crew are tired and looking forward to going home, I know we all have had a great time and are grateful to these amazing fans for making our shows spectacular and our time in the UK a wonderful experience. Tonight is our last show and we will be performing in the Manchester Arena. I wish you all a great holiday season and a wonderful new year in 2019!

All the best, Wil

Apologies in advance for any of my singing you may hear 🙉 a sign of a good concert is loss of voice, sore dancing feet, I got this from Frankie Valli last night! He’s 84 yrs old and still banging out the tunes….see how many songs you can sing along with…☺️ ⁣ #frankievalli #frankievalliandthefourseasons #frankievallifarewelltour #frankievallitour #theo2 #livemusic #music #sherry #myeyesadoreyou #canttakemyeyesoffyou #beggin #opus17 #ohwhatanight #jerseyboys #walklikeaman
