About The Show

Here’s a chance to experience Willie Nile up close and personal in a night of songs and stories with Willie Nile alone on stage with a guitar and piano at the intimate Avenel Performing Arts Center.

The New York Times called Buffalo, NY born Willie Nile “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years.” Uncut Magazine called him “A one-man Clash” and “the unofficial poet laureate of New York City”. Bono, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, Jim Jarmusch, and Little Steven are among those who have sung his praises.

His album, American Ride, won “Best Rock Album of the Year” at the Independent Music Awards. It appeared on dozens of year-end Top Ten lists for 2013 and was voted “Album Of The Year” by Twangville Magazine.

MOJO wrote about his 2016 album World War Willie, “Four Stars! The real thing…stomp-‘til-ready rock’n’roll…timeless fare.” It won Album of the Year Reader’s Poll from Twangville Magazine and made numerous top ten lists for Album of the Year.

The Associated Press said his 2018 album Children Of Paradis, which also won Twangville’s Album of the Year Reader’s Poll, “Might be the best album of his career!”

His 2020 album New York At Night got rave reviews, with The Associated Press calling it: “As sharp and guitar-driven as ever…the fire within Nile, once a peer of The Replacements and The Clash, continues to light a similar torch…anthemic…custom made for these times.”

His live album “Willie Nile – Live At Daryl’s House Club” released in April 2024 was listed as one the “Best Rock Albums of the Year’ in Classic Rock Magazine. PowerPop magazine wrote:
“A life-changer — recorded at a moment when Willie & Company happened to be the greatest rock ‘n’ roll band in the world!”

Willie is currently working on a new studio album for a June 2025 release. He will be touring in Europe and in North America this year and lives in New York City.

Woodbridge Township presents Willie Nile at The Avenel Performing Arts Center with support from Woodbridge Arts.
