From the watery wilds of Wisconsin emerges Will Bailey, drummer extraordinaire and Lord of Mixmastery for The Fancy Pears. Will was born with a full beard, pattering out Mitch Mitchell-esque grooves on his belly as he took his first breaths, to much acclaim. Since then, he has become a master maniuplator of time and space and the driving rhythmic force of the Pears. The Fancy Pears have recorded all music in Will's studio at an undisclosed location in the Horsehead nebula (or possibly east Madison). Will also dabbles as a part time zen master and gamer of the esoteric PC variety. Catch him at the next show and perhaps he shall reveal to you his secrets of time travel... Likes: Tom Waits, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Monty Python, cats and dogs, Stout beer, steak, travelling. Dislikes: light beer and uncreative music #pearfeature #bands #band #musicians #music #thefancypears #drummer (at Madison, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7rnAVvnEPu/?igshid=zan7zrim129v

Tour day: 3 & 4 DC was great. We busked at @unionstationdc Before getting shutdown (after we got video!), dropped a couple of albums off at the @npr DC office, and then ended the day watching Mystic Pizza. Despite the weather and a couple of hiccups, this has been a great first tour! #bands #band #musicians #music #playloudsinglouder #band #livemusic #localmusic #madison #wisconsin #wisco #bands #band #musicians #indierock #rock #indie (at Washington, District of Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2FLcQDH_Tm/?igshid=1niqluwoc2axl
