Bill Culp co-founded Canadian punk rock band "The Problem Children" in the early 1980's, playing drums and co-writing one of their most popular songs, "Red Dyed Hair". After leaving the group, Bill joined a Rockabilly band called "The Rubels", playing upright bass and singing, and performed 300+ shows per year across Canada throughout the mid to late 1980's.
In the early 1990's, Bill was a regular performer on the Toronto Roots music scene with "The Fabulous Dienfenbakers" where he backed numerous notable Canadian musicians including Jack deKeyzer, Gene Taylor, Chris Whiteley, Ken Whiteley, Donnie Walsh, and others.
In 2005, Bill released a solo CD entitled "Roots'N'Roll", a mix of country, rock & roll, rockabilly, blues and pop that was distributed across North America via Bullseye Records. The disc received substantial airplay in the "Roots" genre and reached 11 in the USA on the "Freeform American Roots" chart, which tracks 140 Roots-oriented radio programs worldwide.
The single "Riverside", recorded with Garth Hudson from "The Band" on keyboards, reached the Canadian Country Top 100 radio chart for 3 consecutive months. The disc was given positive reviews from many publications and was nominated at both the Hamilton Music Awards and the Toronto Music Awards.
Today, in addition to his solo shows, Bill Culp is busy touring with the musical play "Good Rockin' Tonight: The Sun Records Story", and also performs regularly with Dave Rave (The Shakers, Teenage Head) and Cleave Anderson (Blue Rodeo). For more details on Bill, visit his website www.BillCulp.ca

Hi Bill! Just a note to say thanks for your c.d. that you were kind enough to give me. I'm the guy who met you at your van when you were packing up. Your band is great and is so exactly like my old band called "The Trade Secret " back in the 70's. Jim Chute is the lead singer of my old band and is now in charge of entertainment for all of the hockey arenas in Saskatchewan. Jim has played The Grand old Oprey on six occasions and has two best selling gospel albums to his credit. ( the amazing part is when I first heard you sing I could have been listening to him ) I phoned him tonight in Saskatchewan to let him know about you and if the day ever comes around when your touring out west he will have some gigs for you. I sincerely hope this will be some help to you. Best wishes for now.....( you have another fan ) Bye for now......Vince Parlee (Message fom the bill culp fan page inbox)
Hey! It's been a while. We did a great show in Lewisburg, Tn. Here are

:-) ) Feel free to comment and rate these on you tube. I'll try to
stay in touch a little better in the future. Cheers! Ronnie Lee
