The Oil City Arts Council will present another Virtual Transit Concert with Wyllis Street Band on Friday
March 12, 2021 at 7:30 pm. The concert is one of several that the Arts Council’s Programming
Committee converted from live events to virtual in response to challenges presented by the COVID-19
pandemic; and its Friday evening timeslot creates an enjoyable dinner concert to take in from the
comforts of home.
The Wyllis Street Band comprises Steve Woods on rhythm guitar, Andy Young on lead guitar and vocals,
Marc Rickard on percussion and vocals, and Jess Rosen on vocals.
The band started 7 years ago with Steve and Andy just practicing for several years. Marc was a great
addition a year and a half ago with his percussion and additional vocals; and joining them just a short
time later was Jess bringing more vocal talent to the band.
The band’s genre is rock and blues and a few songs you thought you knew but weren’t sure. They play a
great mix of classics as well as some more obscure songs ranging from the 1960’s through the 2000’s.
