Artist description Willy Mac Music is one of Northeast Ohio's favorite hippie-fest acts. Playing both old and new material, Willy Mac and Westside Rick's Instrumental and vocal talants are truely ear catching, and for a couple of old guys, they are a lot of fun, and have attracted a rather large following of young and old alike! Thier staunch support of the National Orginization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) has added an interesting avenue for their writing skills, as becomes obvious from the latest hit single "Crime of the Century" These guys truely love what they do. Check Them Out!

Artist History Born in the mid - 90's at a hippie festival, this union was one of those rare special meetings that will result in a lifetime of good times and great music! After recognizing the possibilities for this duo, Willy actually had to run an advertisement in the local papers to re-locate Westside Rick! The rest is history, so to speak. Since that time, the band did some recording and gigging with local percussionist John Welton, and is currently working with ex-HeadBandit Rusty Pugh! (The vocals Rusty adds are priceless!)
