Willpilot & The Acoustic Shadows reminisce about the past and question the future of Rock n’ Roll with new releases.
A chance encounter with rock royalty and a call to realize the present spurs new material by Willpilot.
In 2008, David P. Ohliger, aka Willpilot. Had a chance encounter with Yoko Ono. They passed each other on an early morning New York City Street. Silent smiles and peace signs were exchanged. And that was that. A very personal moment that could have been otherwise forgotten among a sea of unique NYC memories. But 14 years later, the recollection reappeared and what stood out was the kindness, coolness and dignity shown. The echo of that moment returning as a melody and now memorialized as a musical souvenir with the release of Yoko, You Earned It. The First of two new singles with the Acoustic Shadows band.
Keeping with the rock royalty reflection, the second single, American Rock & Roll begs the old generational question. Is Rock & Roll dead? Can it survive another century? Or even the next decade? The baton is being passed to the next generation of noise makers. The movement is happening. Don't look into the future. The Present is Now!
These two releases represent the current vision of Ohliger’s musical path and continue the direction of the singer/songwriter's punk and soul infused style with modern jazz expressionism. Everything is game, all ideas are plausible. The only mantra here is "always play an honest note.”
The Acoustic Shadows are Josh Arenberg (Drums) Michael Herscher (Bass) and Jared Wofford on Lead Electric Guitar.
Willpilot & The Acoustic Shadows are currently in the studio finalizing tracks for the new forthcoming album “Whiskey on Douglass” and performing regionally in support of each single release.
