Willis Earl Beal

 

As the press so often observe, loneliness is the modern disease.

It sometimes seems that as the pace of modern life increases, more and more people are being left behind. Willis Earl Beal is among them, left feeling alienated on the fringes of society.
…
At one time homeless, Beal turned to art and music as a means to reclaim some of the beauty denied to him by his day to day existence. Living in Chicago, the songwriter posted flyers all over the city to invite someone – anyone – to contact him.

A feeling of invisibility, of not mattering, runs through his music. Eventually uncovered, Willis Earl Beal signed a deal with XL offshoot Hot Charity, who are set to release his debut single ‘Evening’s Kiss’ on March 19th.
