Picking up guitar on a whim, at the ripe age of twenty, Wil 'Panda' Coffey immediately took to the art of song writing and within two and a half years was performing before live audiences. Classifying his music as “Soul Acoustic”, Panda’s style is truly rare in its compilation of Folk, Blues & Jazz with an unmistakable funk, making even popular cover tunes sound like original improvisations. Touring extensively around western North America for the previous eight years he has had the opportunity to play on the same stage with acts such as; Taj Mahal, CCR, The Wailers, Tuck & Patti, Michael Hedges, Bela Fleck & the Flecktones, David Grisman Quintet and other accomplished performers.
Presently, Panda is residing in New Zealand . He is still performing near his home on Makarori Beach, New Zealand and he tours New Zealand regularly. Panda is returning to the USA later this year for a tour there & a new CD is in the works...so stay tuned!
