Depending on the night you may find singer-songwriter Will McCranie performing solo or with any number of band configurations. That's part of his charm - keeping himself guessing just as much as the audience. The Georgia native has been compared to a ball of tape, rolling across the carpet and grabbing pieces of every available influence in his path. But it's his ability to never lose his own sound, an infectious blend of his southern roots with elements of soul and jazz, that separates him from his peers. Will McCranie's tunes are a carefully balanced mix of alternative/pop-rock influences blended with his southern roots. You feel like after listening to the his music that you have opened a beautiful music box filled with love, life, happiness, sadness, honesty and truth.  It’s a mix of all these feelings and experiences that really make McCranie a songwriter you can connect with and who is only going to bring you alongside him on this musical journey.

Augusta, GA's prodigal son returned in 2015, after a nearly 8 year stint of gigging, touring, writing & recording with New York City as his home base. During his time in The Big Apple, McCranie averaged well over 100 live performances a year (playing shows with the likes of Goo Goo Dolls, G. Love & Special Sauce, Colbie Caillat, Gin Blossoms, Tonic, Mother’s Finest, Big Something, Kevn Kinney, Angie Aparo & Michael Tolcher along the way), studied guitar under Jamie McLean (Jamie McLean Band/ Dirty Dozen Brass Band), Brendan Bayliss & Jake Cinninger of Umphrey's McGee & Jon "Barber" Gutwillig (The Disco Biscuits), released 3 EP's and a full length LP under his own name, played on nearly a dozen releases with other artists, recorded/released a song a week for over a year on his 52/52 PROJECT, signed a sync/licensing deal with Fieldhouse Music/BMG, and he was voted Augusta Magazine’s “Best Male Vocalist” in 2013 and 2021 and is a two time recipient of the Lokal Loudness Awards “Favorite Solo Artist”.

In addition to his solo efforts, McCranie can be found fronting the improvisational rock band, Bodega Cat, leaning on his love of jambands like Umphrey’s McGee and Phish. Bodega Cat is honored to have been voted “Best Rock/Alternative Group” in Augusta Magazine’s “Best of Augusta 2022 & 2023”. Bodega Cat released its debut EP, “Say It With Me… Bo-De-Ga” in August of 2022. The project was tracked in Downtown Augusta and once again reunited McCranie with Matty Amendola and Grammy Award winning mastering engineer Hans Dekline for post production.

McCranie also fronts local supergroups, Sweet Burrito - “Augusta, GA’s undisputed kings of dad rock” and his newest project, yeet., which was formed as a part of the Habitat For Humanity fundraiser, Build The Band, held at the Miller Theater in June 2024.
