Willie Oteri
Guitarist/Composer Willie Oteri is one of those rare people who have, to their credit, not one, but two careers as a musician. One which saw him on stage with names such as Doobie Brothers, Chaka Khan, Bob Seger and Neil Young among others, and a second, after a trip to hell and back (read more at willieoteri.com), that saw the emergence of an innovative bandleader and recording artist with names like Tony Levin, Pat Mastelotto, Markus Reuter and Mike Keneally among others for colleagues and co-musicians. a heady conoction of freely improvised rock music which, like it’s leader’s experiences, can also take one to hell, heaven and back. – T.L.
