Willa Mamet

Singer and songwriter, Willa Mamet was born in a trunk and raised by performers of all kinds.   She’s made music since about that time, singing irrepressibly and playing piano and guitar. With her musical partner, Paul Miller, she recorded two albums, East Hill Road and Let Somebody Love You, both of which won the VT Times Argus “Tammy” Album of the Year in 2013 and 2015. 

Her next album, produced by Julie Wolf, will be born 2020. Meanwhile, she plays out sola, with Miller, and with Genesis Fermin as Power Snatch, bringing her unique blend of rapier tongue and honey heart to audiences everywhere.

Tune in for her monthly livecast How to Be A Hero for Independent Music, bringing resources to community conversation. And catch her as she hosts I Need Space, a live stream queer music festival. In non-pox times, she also co-hosts the open mic at Berkeley’s beloved Freight & Salvage.

Hear the voice that Patti Lupone calls, “Heartbreaking. Musical. Contemporary and ancient.”

Willa lives in Oakland, CA, with her beloved upright, her uncle’s guitar, a forest of elderberry bushes, and her six-pawed cat.

She travels. A lot. For music.
