Will Dempsey

Will Dempsey is bringing his music to Shank Hall for an all-ages show. This is a musician with a genuinely compelling backstory—after working in a chemical plant for 15 years while quietly holding onto a childhood dream, a viral video of him and his son performing together changed everything. Now he's touring and sharing the songs he's written from real lived experience. His music draws directly from everyday life: the weight of overtime shifts, relationships that ask something of you, the complex feelings that come with parenting, and grief that moves at its own pace. He's not performing metaphors—he's sharing memory. Gavin Hughes will perform as the special guest. Tickets start at $30.37 and will be delivered via email closer to the event date. This is a great choice if you're looking for authentic, heartfelt live music in an intimate venue setting.
