I was stopped at the traffic light at the corner of Portugal Cove Road and Newfoundland Drive in St John's a couple of years ago and decided to switch from my I-Pod to the radio, and I was instantly transfixed by this heavenly voice singing his song "Bloom". I had to be beeped at several times to move when the light turned green. I pulled over to listen and learn who was singing. As soon as I was at a computer went to William's website and bought the album. As soon as I am finished here, I'll go and buy this one! Keep singing, William... We need you!
CBC introduced me to William Prince too. I think I was on King's Bridge Road when I heard "The Spark." Tried to memorize the lyrics so I could search for the song. That voice stops you in your tracks, I agree! Breathtaking!
I can definitely relate to being transfixed by William Prince’s incredible melodic voice. His music truly captures your imagination and it transcends you spiritually so much so that I went to iTunes and purchased several albums by him immediately. I absolutely love his music it’s cathartic and some of his songs actually brings me to tears .
Yeah, I heard "Leave it by the sea" when I was leaving the driveway and I turned around, re-parked and went into the house, checked the CBC website for WP and ordered it, and then I could do my shopping.
Just when you think there’s no more original or creative songwriting William comes along with these fantastically animated song-bombs and performs each one as if they were casual conversation with a friend.
William’s message of healing, looking at the positive things in life, being ok with being vulnerable and gratitude is incredibly inspiring. I love this guy ❤️
I only just discovered William, but mighty glad I did. Once again, Canada brings us someone special ... with his velvet voice, songs to die for, and his intuitive band, all performed with modesty and grace and humility. Maybe I just found someone to file alongside the mighty Bob Carpenter - another indigenous artist.
Will do! I've just ordered the Reliever CD. I see clear similarities between William and the late Bob Carpenter ... both indigenous artists whose spirituality is drawn from the land (and in Bob's case, the ocean).
I discovered you down here in Wisconsin, USA... So not really that far from Canada... But.... You are amazing. Your music is special. You reached me. You moved me. You helped me through a really difficult time. Thank you!!!
handmade music at its best. This guy has such a wonderful, heartfelt story to tell+ this sublime voice. Could listen to this for hours. All the best from Germany
A Buddha..for us 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇲🇽 especially on North American continent..to heal hearts divides..Soothe our roughed up souls.. and see joy in our children our art our land.. thank you William long may you wave These sounds our way Thank you. 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🦄 .
Heard this album on CBC Radio driving back from Edmonton -> Calgary and had to buy the Vinyl as soon as I got home. Tax dollars well-spent here; thank you very much for introducing me to William Prince (and his wonderful band)!
Reliever has played in my car for 3 weeks, every trip. Earthly Goods arrived today. Mr. Prince's voice, lyrics, this band, harmonies, aesthetic all reverberate in the marrow. Powerful, beautiful. Thank you William Prince.
William Prince for Prime Minister. Oh man.....just found you today. can't believe how mesmerizing your voice is. your message is inspirational. thank you for sharing your gift
William and his backup singer have voices of angels. Thank you for this beautiful music at this difficult time. I hope all my current and past friends, current and past loves, are well and healthy....take care of yourselves.
Great performance! Lovely voice and the calm songs are pure serenity. William Prince is a true singer. Thank god for the internet that gives us the chance to find new artists
I’m only coming across this link and I so greatful I did today. Shook hands with William late summer of 2023 and instantly felt the humbleness William had. Great music even better person.
I'd never heard of William Prince until I heard this set on the radio yesterday afternoon. I was gobsmacked. As amazing singer songwriter, beautiful voice, so soulful, I've been listening to nothing else ever since. When live shows start happening again, I sure hope he comes to Ottawa.
This Manitoba girl living in Arizona discovered this beautiful singing and talented man when CMT (showing country music videos) showed Gospel First Nation….I went in search. So glad I did. Beautiful and thank you, Mr Prince.
I don't know what it is about William's voice and music. I cry, or nearly so, EVERY SINGLE TIME. What a voice. His artistry fills a void I didn't know was there. Thank you, you are a gift.
few musical artists I want to sit back, listen to any more. this is a rare exception. I not only want to sit back, but I want to empty my mind of everything else, and just absorb this smooth sound, completely.
William …..first .. I have not cried or felt this much internal emotion for a very long time. I’m not a musician.. but I feel music in my soul …. It’s been one of the most rare loves in my life that has been my constant. The last time I recall having an emotional episode of this level was at a time where loneliness took me for a very long day drive and I purchased Jimmy Rankin’s CD and pushed it into the CD player in my jeep. Imagine driving around the Cabot Trail.. alone more that I ever expected and listening to him….That moment .. of realizing that life is so much more … gave me courage to start living again … Years later … I find myself at a crossroad “similar “ but now more frightening… as the loneliness again has trapped me in my body .. and the means of getting out is harder to grasp … but today … this day I heard your voice on the radio … it stopped my heart … I ran for my phone and hit the app that told me who you were and what you were singing … I felt “it” again … I do not know what “it “ was but I became so emotional prayed there was more! There you were .. I snuggled in bed with coffee and listened to entire album with such gratitude… I’m still smiling .. talk about music lifting your soul .. your heart .. your mind … you have taken what was left of mine and put hope in its place. You are him ..I cried because I felt joy your … words … healing …. Your voice …music Thank you William … please come to our part of the country soon… Cannot wait get your CD and go for a really long drive. Brand new Fan
Prior to covid I was part of the "Starmaker machinery behind the popular song"... I didn't realize how much I missed this stuff (William in particular) until this playout.
My heart opened and my soul found comfort as the tears rained down my cheeks. As I find my exit from this earthly home I will listen and feel. Touched by the words healed by the love. Maggie Atkinson
William, your voice is poignant and kind. SO pleased I heard you on the radio. Thank you for sharing your talent. It makes my evenings relaxing at home, listening to your CD so much more meaningful and relaxing. j:)
After losing my Mum suddenly last month, I have found solace in William Prince's music. It calms me and allows my thoughts to remember my Mum in her full glory, during sadness, happiness and our struggles in life. I'm so inspired.
Came here after listening to and loving Lighthouse, which was discovered by Those Who Wish Me Dead. Yes, this little chocolate Texan girl loves her some country as well!
Cannot get enough of this amazing voice and storytelling. Where have you been all my life? It doesn't matter... you're here now, thankfully. Blessings. ❤
So amazingly beautiful lyrics, golden voice, I cry I cry I cry a man who can heal your heart and soul he is a gift so treasure this an and his music Bill Smith ❤
I keep coming back to watch this. William Prince's songs and livestreams have helped keep me sane thorough the pandemic. I've bought his album and listen to it every day. Even my teen is a fan now.
Driving through Northern Ontario feeling sad,depressed and emotionally withdrawn, then i hear William Prince and his relaxing,melodic voice who's words i needed to hear that day . I've probably listened to "Live in Winnipeg " 4 or 5 days now and while I'm not sure of my future on this earth i know that whatever is left will be filled with Williams incredibly soothing voice.
I must have watched this about 30 times already. Amazing storyteller and songwriter. Joy and Pain. Love & Loss. Cant wait to see him in Washington DC with The War and Treaty
William, I've been waiting to hear each new song since the first time you played Vancouver. l loved 'Reliever' and this new one recording sounds like it is going to be just as much of a joy. Thank you for some of the best songs I've ever heard and I've been singing, and listening for over 75 years. Hope you will make it back to Vancouver soon.
I was on youtube listening to Serena Ryder when this popped up to listen too. What an amazing, talented man. His voice is soothing and his lyrics resonate so deeply. I have played this so many times. Sometimes the blessing hit when you least expect it.🙏💕
Listening to your velour voice and wise/gentle songs brings tears to my eyes. Thank you. I want you to know that I forwarded your songs to some friends in Greece and now you have friends over there. Your voice will keep me company on my flight over. Thank you for representing something good and pure. We desperately need it.
I stumbled onto him with a cover of "Bad Liver and a Broken Heart." and now I have to randomly check in on him every few months to see what kind of music he's released. He makes it seem so effortless the way he plays and writes all while staying really humble and real.
I'm a new fan... just as of yesterday. I'm taken back by the soothing voice, beautiful lyrics and amazing music. Thank you so much for sharing this whole live concert. Thanks to CBC for bringing this human's talent to my ears.
Hanging out at the concert (video) on Canada Day 2021. Contemplating where and what we've been - and where we go from here. Oh, Canada. (Etymology: The name Canada is now generally accepted as originating from the St. Lawrence Iroquoian word kanata ([kana:taʔ]), meaning 'village' or 'settlement')
Got to love the algorithms sometimes. Never knew this guy but he popped up for me on TH-cam and Spotify. The Spark is an amazing song. Why isn’t this guy huge? The only other act that I found serendipitously that hit me like this is the mighty Watchhouse / Mandolin Orange. Fabulous stuff.

That was you?! Yeah when the light is green it means you go. People have places to be!
Are you playing in UK any time soon?
Yeah, I heard "Leave it by the sea" when I was leaving the driveway and I turned around, re-parked and went into the house, checked the CBC website for WP and ordered it, and then I could do my shopping.
Was lucky enough to be in that room and witness this greatness live! Thank you William!
Lucky!
Luck you!
That gave me chills. What an awesome experience that must have been.

In a world of high anxiety this is the medicine we need. Thank you William Prince for entering my life during these troubled times.
Exceptional. Proud of our indigenous talent and for making our country better. Great voice and music.
I discovered you down here in Wisconsin, USA... So not really that far from Canada... But....
You are amazing. Your music is special.

Mr. Prince is slated for this year's Vancouver Folk Music Festival, Jericho Beach Park and I can't wait!!!
Found William Prince through 'Those Who Wish Me Dead" and I've never been more pleased to stumble upon an artist from a movie.
I could just listen to this man talk all day. Incredible voice. Amazing energy.
A Canadian treasure. Hearing the Telus Health commercial where they took a clip out of "7" blew me away. I love this gentleman.
Oh my god....your voice. Where have you been. I just watched the movie with your music. Dude you and your band is beautiful.
Came here after listening to and loving Lighthouse, which was discovered by Those Who Wish Me Dead. Yes, this little chocolate Texan girl loves her some country as well!
Yeah no one cares what color your skin is dumb-dumb

this is amazing ...gladly i found you WP while watching " those who wish me dead:...your LIGHTHOUSE brought me here....listening from Dubai
Best singer and songwriter from Canada since a youthful Neil Young from back in the early 70's. That level of genius in music is unique.
Just discovered this dude a few weeks ago. I really enjoy his style of music.
I stumbled onto him with a cover of "Bad Liver and a Broken Heart." and now I have to randomly check in on him every few months to see what kind of music he's released. He makes it seem so effortless the way he plays and writes all while staying really humble and real.
Heard on the radio today...im hooked :)
There is such an emotional truth to this performance that just touches me deeply. Thank you William.
So in love with his voice! Amazing!
Might be the best song writing right now I am aware of in any genre. Thank you.
Such a natural talent. He makes singing like that look easy. And that isn't easy!
Ahmein HALLELUYAH Beautiful Spirit of Harmony together... trusting through this journey!
I can’t believe this band was out there! I love the Musica!!!!
I'm a new fan... just as of yesterday. I'm taken back by the soothing voice, beautiful lyrics and amazing music. Thank you so much for sharing this whole live concert. Thanks to CBC for bringing this human's talent to my ears.
