"Who is Will Byington"
/“Epic - Seriously the best vacation a human could ever take - Spring break for Adults - Everything you could imagine it was - and it was summer camp meets sleepover fun…” reflects TRB stalwart, Will Byington, on his first Rock Boat in 2002.
We all know Will as the personable photographer on-board capturing the precious moments of the “worlds greatest floating music festival” - but did you know that his first three Rock Boats were as part of Cowboy Mouth’s team? It was in 2005 that Will reached out to Sixthman to see if they needed a photographer… and the rest is history.
This Chicago-based photographer and lover of music provides listeners with unique snapshots of TRB History - from the early days of the Boat to the seamless production of more recent years. Like Chris Rhoad and BoatCast Mark, Will is not officially part of Sixthman, but expresses his tremendous respect for their team and their “Every passenger is a VIP” philosophy. When he first got the job, Andy Levine instructed Will to “Capture the Experience” and I think any boater who has checked out the photos that Will stays up editing late night, would agree that his shots do just that.
If you are looking for the perfect last minute holiday gift for a special Rock Boater, We’d encourage you to check out his online shop for some prints!
