$Songs & Stories of the Island\u2019s Son$

J. Coursey Willis weaves original songs together with live excerpts from his unfinished book, Stories of the Island’s Son, as it exists right now.

Unfinished.
Still breathing.

This is an intimate, stripped-down night that lives somewhere between MTV Unplugged and VH1 Storytellers. Darker. More personal. Rooted in real memory.

Joining him on stage are members of the multi-platinum band Candlebox, bringing decades of weight and presence into the room. Shared songs. Shared moments. No distance between the stage and the truth.

The Chesapeake Sons open the night. A Maryland-rooted band of brothers whose sound and presence ground the room before the story deepens.

The songs and stories move together.
One continuous arc.

They come from places that no longer exist.
From people who are gone.
From the dead.

For anyone who loves where they are from or has watched it change and didn’t know where to put that feeling, this night is for you.

You won’t be watching a performance.
You’ll be sitting inside it.

Two nights only.
Very limited seating.
No repeat experience.

If you are here, you already know:
this is not just a show.

Come listen closely.
