William Beckett - Cover Song / Full Band Recording

"Music is all about connection," expresses solo artist William Beckett. "Performer gives to listener, listener gives back to performer. I respect my fans and their inevitable evolution of taste and experience. The only constants in life are change and the necessity of music. THAT is why I don't make the same record over and over again. I'm not trying to cater to an audience or lower the bar to some level of "relatability". I write real songs for real people about real experiences. The connection is the skin, the meat and the core. The whole apple."
