WILLIS is a Nashville-based indie rock band originally formed in Florence, Alabama, by five childhood friends—Murphy Billings, Glenn O’Steen, Will O’Steen, Edward Armstead, and Trey Murphy. Known for their warm, rhythmic sound and emotionally direct songwriting, the band blends elements of psychedelic rock, alternative blues, and surf pop into a style that’s both nostalgic and refreshingly modern. Their breakout single I Think I Like When It Rains became a viral sensation, earning RIAA Platinum certification and over 350 million streams, while their Locals EP series and debut album I Can’t Thank You Enough have solidified their place as one of indie rock’s most beloved rising acts.
On stage, WILLIS delivers a high-energy, feel-good experience that transforms every venue into a singalong celebration. Their 2024 national headline tour sold out coast to coast, with fans packing clubs and theaters in “Locals Only” tees, belting every lyric like lifelong followers. From intimate venues like The Basement East in Nashville to major festival appearances, the band’s live shows are a testament to their grassroots rise and undeniable connection with their audience.
With a sound that’s both timeless and forward-thinking, WILLIS continues to evolve while staying true to their roots. Their music is built on authenticity, friendship, and a shared love for creating songs that resonate deeply and last long after the final note.
