Willie Phoenix Way Dedicated!
Excerpts of an article in the Columbus Free Press by Suzanne Patzer
OCTOBER 14, 2020
Columbus is now honoring the legendary rocker Willie Phoenix by renaming 16th and High Street “Willie Phoenix Way” in Columbus, Ohio. Willie has long been a legend in the local rock scene.
Activist and local musician Brian Clash stated: “I celebrate the life force that is Willie Phoenix. I have enjoyed knowing him over 40 years; first as an awestruck fan and later as my musical mentor, songwriting partner, and most of all dear friend. This exciting honor being given to him is only a reflection on what he has given to all of us. Congratulations Willie!!!”
“In many ways, Willie Phoenix is the voice and sound of Columbus rock and roll. We had our own indigenous guitar monster that gets us through good and bad times,” Fitrakis said.
Willie has played on the Hot Times Main Street Stage for decades!
