WILLET
WILLET (formerly known as CLEARVIEW) is a Rock Band out of Westminster, MD made up of brothers, Jeremy, Justin, and Jordan Willet. In 2005, WILLET, signed a booking and management agreement with RARENTERTAINMENT, and in July of 2006 the band signed a record deal with CRIMSON FORGED RECORDS. WILLET’s touring has consisted of national tours and major festival appearances such as CORNERSTONE, LIFELIGHT, and OY FEST. The idea for WILLET (comprised of the 3 Willet brothers) began on a family trip to Florida while watching a CHEVELLE DVD in the backseat. Jeremy, Justin and Jordan grew up in a Christian home taking piano lessons from their father, which resulted in expanding to other instruments such as bass, drums and guitar. Being that the Willet brothers have always shared a close relationship both musically, and relationally, they pursued a vision to help kids all over the world. Inspired by the 3 brothers that make up CHEVELLE, plus a deep root for integrity, and a passion for an intense live show, the band tours the country full time sharing their music. WILLET can be compared to the live show energy of STORY OF THE YEAR (guitar tosses, throws, and choreographed stunts), the “crowd pleasing anthems” of THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH, and the “radio-friendly” songs of SWITCHFOOT. WILLET has had the opportunity to share the stage with national acts such as STARFIELD, HAWK NELSON, KJ-52, MAINSTAY, FALLING UP, JOHN RUEBEN, PROJECT 86, THOUSAND FOOT CRUTCH, CASTING PEARLS, TAIT, LAST TUESDAY, STAPLE, STELLAR KART, BY THE TREE, DAY OF FIRE, and KIDS IN THE WAY.
