Pawleys Island Festival of Music and Art presents Private Eyes: The Premier Hall & Oates Tribute

Description

Tabled Event:
Private Eyes, a Tribute to Daryl Hall & John Oates, was formed in 2018. Their mission was clear and precise: to deliver the timeless music from the best-selling duo of all time with a craftsman’s precision, as well as aiming for the visual blend of their classic late 70’s to early 80’s image.

Founder, Music Director, and Bassist Chris Willshire undertook a nationwide search for the right vocalist who could replicate the blue-eyed soul of Daryl Hall, only to find frontman Mark Wilson in his own San Fernando Valley backyard. Mark is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston, and his diverse background includes having toured with Frankie Valli as one of the Four Seasons, serving as an opening act with the Marcels for Tina Turner, and contributing background vocals for John Denver & Garth Brooks. He has also been a member of the Grammy-nominated Los Angeles Jazz Choir. 

A TV editor by day, Bassist Chris Willshire’s credits include promo material for such CW network shows as Supernatural, The Flash, Arrow, and Black Lightning, in addition to episodes of Bravo’s Top Chef. He met future Oates, Nate Beausoleil, while working on the HGTV shows Flip or Flop and House Hunters. Nate is an in-demand Field Audio Engineer for various HGTV shows, as well as for indie films and documentaries. Nate also keeps busy editing and mixing audio for a variety of clients and projects. 

This Los Angeles-based band is one of only a few Hall & Oates tributes in the US, and the only one to feature album-accurate renditions of all the greatest hits, as well as some choice fan favorites.
