This explains why they were chosen as one of the top wedding bands in the country by participating vendors in Modern Bride magazine, and for the past four years, have been the entertainment for Rachael Ray’s Burger Bash. Throw in two of those four years as the band for Guy Fieri’s closing party for the Food Network’s NYC Wine & Food Festival, and being the de facto band for Fordham University’s annual Senior/Parent Dance, it’s clear why The Touch has a reputation for knocking fans and clients of all ages out of their seats and onto the dance floor.

His mother Doris, sang with local trios, and even recorded a few Boleros with an independent label. At the age of 10(ten) Willy began formal vocal studies with Linda Yaber, and Thelma Ithier.
