If all musicians were paid every time they wrote a song about the weary heartaches of love, they would all be millionaires. There are only a certain number of artists that can pull it off. Will Belcourt is one of them. Not only is the song "Fire" upbeat with a folky rhythmatic heartbreak lullaby, Belcourt includes his influential touch of Jimi Hendrix and attaches it perfectly with a hint of original rock riffs and as a bonus, some catchy harmonizing. Fire is...you guessed it a song about the loss of love, the only difference is it won't leave you sad when it's over; but with more of a sense of contentedness and a sense of strength.
Born in the Métis Community of Marlboro which is near Grande Cache, Alta, Belcourt is of Cree, Iroquois and Scottish Descent. He resides in Edmonton and is no 'newbie' when it comes to the music scene, he has been playing as a professional musician for over 15 years.
Like the majority of gifted guitar players he began his music journey with an old beat up guitar. His new folk/rock album, Full Moon Blanket is all original soulful material. Belcourt takes the bull by the horns and not only does vocals/guitar but also showcases his Rhythm, lead guitars, bass, drums, strings and piano abilities. His voice is heartfelt and full of hope and optimism.
Taken from the lyrics of the song: "No time to be afraid, got to keep movin' on, got to keep movin' on." Are these words of wisdom or just another love song? It's up to you. For more information or to purchase the album go to: www.garageband.com/will_belcourt.
