Will Anderson – Acoustic Performance & Poetry Reading | The Southern Cafe & Music Hall

The most meaningful love stores are rarely straightforward—they contain joy and fulfillment, but also heartache, frustration and at times even grief. From the bliss of first saying “I do” to the heart-crushing reality of losing someone, the act of loving another person is ever-evolving.

Will Anderson tells his own love story on his full-length solo debut LP, How Little Love Is / How Worth Everything. Snapshots of his life come into focus as he shares vivid memories of his late wife Courtney Kampa, processes the pain of suddenly losing her, and unassumingly connects by opening himself up. The platinum-certified singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer both celebrates her life and uses her light to heal himself and others.

“This is my story with Courtney, but I hope someone can identify a part of their own story in it,” he states. “I want them to understand what an amazing person she was and see how lucky I was to be married to her. Grief is, obviously, one of the most basic aspects of human experience, but it’s not as isolating it seems. When I started to play the record for other people, I realized I wasn’t alone. If someone listens to it, I hope they’re reminded they’re not alone too.”
