"In 1992, I got a phone call from my friend, Eric McSpadden.
He asked me if I would be interested in joining his band, Mojo Syndrome,
as a vocalist and guitarist. I had heard the band perform many times
and I thought they had a good sound and played the blues with feeling
and conviction. I accepted his offer, and, as they say, the rest is
history. We've been playing music together now for over 13 years.
About 10 years ago, we started performing as an acoustic duo or trio
called Willie and the Bluecats. We've performed at every type of venue
you could imagine: corporate dinners in hotel ballrooms, blues festivals,
TV and radio spots, honky tonks, juke joints, wineries, concerts in
the park, biker bars, martini bars, fine dining establishments, wedding
receptions, happy hours, private parties. Music is our passion and
we've been lucky enough to make it our life's work. We live in a city
with a thriving live music scene and a very deep and strong connection
to the blues."

ABOUT THE MUSIC:
Our music falls under the umbrella of American Roots Music (that means
it's old), traditional country, folk, gospel, and a real strong dose
of the blues. Our goal was, and remains, to keep it simple: acoustic
guitar, harmonica, vocals, and percussion.
This new release "TROUBLE NO MORE" covers the spectrum of
music that has influenced us and includes an original song dedicated
to my father, the late Rayford Lee Griffin, who taught me that action
speaks louder than words.
