The Willis Clan is taking their music to a whole new level and a whole new audience. This year the band will not only be playing the major Irish festivals like Milwaukee and Dublin, Ohio, but also traveling to state fairs, county festivals, amusement parks and more.  Their new CD Chapter Two – Boots is due out soon and is another album of all original material written by The Clan in the bluegrass style.

In July of 2013, Generation Bluegrass 2 was a project that The Willis Clan was heavily involved in. A group of young, up and coming musicians recorded a documentary on the Irish roots of bluegrass and its various influences on young artists. This DVD, the second in a docu series produced by very promising young talent coming up in the folk music world is also due out later this year and was a great opportunity for The Willis Clan to collaborate with other young bands that share their passion for making great music.
