Latest News

 1) Jazz pianist Joe Reid and I have resumed sharing our hour-long programs of music  with visits to Springhouse in Jamaica Plain, Brightview in Arlington, Fuller Village in Milton, Waterstone At the Circle in Boston,  Cornerstone in Milford, and Lasell Village in Newton.  We are looking forward to bringing music later this fall to Newbury Court in Concord, North Hill in Needham as well as making two return visits to Cornerstone.

Joe and I are both fully vaccinated, and — although we and the residents and staff are all wearing masks which makes it very hard to see anyone's facial expressions  — we have still managed to have a great time making music together.

Please send me a message if you might like us to bring music to YOUR community.

2) I was honored to be interviewed by Ed Karvoski, Jr. for the June issue of the Fifty Plus Advocate.  You can click here to read it if you are curious.

3) I was delighted to be interviewed by Loren King for the March/April issue of Boston Spirit magazine. You can click here to read it if you are curious.

About

"Few singers captivate an audience as quickly and convincingly as McMillan can. He presents his repertoire with a beguilingly intimate approach all his own.” 

— New England Entertainment Digest

Singer and songwriter Will McMillan has soloed with pops orchestras, rock bands, and a cappella groups.

He currently offers programs of his original songs — with accompaniment from a jazz pianist — as well as musical programs highlighting lyricists and composers such as Dorothy Fields, Harold Arlen, Hoagy Carmichael, the Gershwin Brothers, and Cole Porter.

McMillan has performed at venues ranging from Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, MA to Yin Par Le Garcon Chinois in Shanghai.

My Blog

You are welcome to visit my blog — which features at least one song per post— and read about topics ranging from climate change to songwriters (such as Yip Harburg,  Dorothy Fields and the Gershwin Brothers), to my somewhat unusual childhood working professionally around the USA, to my time as a standby in the original production of Pippin when I was ten years old.

My most recent (and 100th) blog post features the song "Overjoyed" — written by Stevie Wonder and performed by Doug Hammer, (piano), Mike Callahan (clarinet), and me (vocals).
