Professor William J. Biggelsworth, aka Big Willy, schooled (and eventually employed) at the finest Ivy League, Big 10, and Pac 10 schools (becoming a Professor of Nocturnal Emissions), threw it all away for the rock-n-roll lifestyle after a night sitting in with the re-formed Strawberry Alarm Clock at the Fillmore in San Francisco. After finishing an inspiring vocal solo, someone screamed out "Go, Big Willy, go!", and that was all she wrote. The professor ditched his cap and gown for a black tux and gold shoes, and began a 27-year journey that continues today.
Stints with "Johnny and the Brain Surgeons", "Surfin' Schwartz and the Bermuda Shorts", and "Butcher Boy and the Cut-Ups" led to finally taking the helm of his own band. With no more than a few phone calls, Buster, Slice, and Brian were on board for the ride we call BIG WILLY AND THE NAKED BUS DRIVERS.
Dubbed as "The Most Fun You Can Have With Your Clothes On" by Janesville Gazette rock critic Yuki Benapor, Big Willy believes that a fun show is more important than a technically perfect show, and strives to involve the audience on every song. Prepare yourself to join Willy on stage, have him sing to you at your table, or to ride the Human Surfboard.
Let the Professor...er...Big Willy teach you what a night of fun is!
