about

William DeLee is one of the most proficient pickers in Portland, Oregon. Recorded live to tape with no effects and no overdubs, DeLee's debut tape showcases his familiarity with the guitar and the charango, a small 10 string instrument that were originally made from Armadillo Shells (Will's is made of wood), along with his keen ear for improvisation and play. Exuberance and lush textures explode from the strings between DeLee's fingers while taking the listener through dynamic peaks and valleys of sound.
