Two Acts with Attitude at the Troubadour
Tuesday night the Troubadour in West Hollywood hosted two very special and unique acts.
Willy Moon, in his silky, studly suit strutted on stage with so much energy and power behind each movement yet still held and air of mystery throughout the whole performance. This guy absolutely rocks out on the electric guitar and his dance moves are erratic and amazing. He has a sultry attitude and was described by a friend of mine as being a “punk Elvis.”
