Prank Williams at Bent Paddle

Prank Williams | Live on the Cosmic Stage!

“These guys are slightly vaudevillian in their approach to the audience. They get everyone engaged and waiting for what may come next. One member of the crowd compared them to the Smothers Brothers of 70’s fame-firstly they are musicians, but there will be loads of jokes and stories. They play off each other, but watch it, you may unknowingly become part of the show.” – Amy Werner, Trempealeau Hotel and Stage in Trempealeau, WI
