Description
Will Boyd-Wallis is a Highland-based singer-songwriter, woodworker, ecologist, and land manager whose music is deeply rooted in the landscapes, wildlife, and communities of Scotland’s Highlands and islands. Performing under the name Greenshanks, his songs are passionate, poignant, and hopeful reflections on life, love, and restoration, shaped by a lifelong connection to the natural world.
Using rich open tunings on his well-travelled guitalele and acoustic guitar, Will creates a distinctive sound that complements his reflective, soulful vocals. A finalist at the 2023 Danny Kyle Open Stage during Celtic Connections in Glasgow, he has performed alongside some of Scotland’s most respected musicians and songwriters.
Alongside songwriting, woodwork provides another important creative outlet. From beautifully functional pieces to eccentric creations that are aesthetically joyful yet delightfully pointless, much of Will’s work is carved or turned outdoors using a traditional foot-powered pole lathe, reflecting his connection to craftsmanship, sustainability, and the natural world.
