In the 14 year history of the Willard Grant Conspiracy some great musicians and songwriters have been part of the band's unusual floating membership. Current notable songwriters that are a part of the band include Mary Lorson, Jackie Leven, Chris Eckman, Chris Cacavas, Edith Frost, Duane Jarvis, Kirk Swan,Steve Wynn, Drew O'Doherty and Chris Brokaw. Along with the other 28 members of the band, it makes for an embarrassment of riches.

With the recent release of WGC's eighth album "Pilgrim Road", the band has hit another highlight in their career and this will be the first visit to Boston since that release. Chris Brokaw's new label Capitan will release his record "Canaris" on Sept 23rd and it will be another in a long line of remarkable recordings to Chris' discography. For those who spend time in the clubs of New England, Drew O'Doherty has slowly become one of the areas best songwriters and performers as the songs on his debut album "Starts" and his on stage story telling/banter easily prove.

On this rare occasion, all three of these songwriters will share the stage with separate sets on Oct 23rd at the Lilypad in Cambridge for what promises to be an exceptional night of music.
