   About Bill Deasy
 Bill Deasy is the former lead singer/songwriter of The Gathering Field, whose regional hit "Lost in America" led to a deal with Atlantic Records. Since embarking on a solo career, Deasy has released five records including "Spring Lies Waiting," "Good Day No Rain," "Chasing Down a Spark," "The Miles," and, his latest, "A Different Kind of Wild." He also released "The Invisible Ocean" with producer/guitarist Rich Jacques under the moniker Thomas Jefferson's Aeroplane.

Performing Songwriter Magazine says: "He calls to mind Paul Westerberg and many of the finest rock songwriters who mix poetry and drunken bluster, yet somehow sound macho and sensitive at the same time" and All Music Guide suggests that "Sensitive singer/songwriters are a dime a dozen, but really good ones are a rarity. Bill Deasy is the real deal. In a perfect world, you'd already know this..."

Deasy has been touring the country both acoustically and with his band and has appeared as an opening act for artists such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Patty Griffin, John Mellencamp and Norah Jones. His songs have been recorded by a wide array of artists including Howard Jones, Billy Ray Cyrus, The Clarks, Michael Stanley, Kim Richey, and country star Martina McBride. Deasy has also been featured on national television singing his own song, "Good Things Are Happening," in a national promo for ABC's Good Morning America program.

In August of 2006, Bill Deasy added "published author" to his list of accomplishments with the release of his first novel, "Ransom Seaborn", which went on to receive the 2006 Needle Award. And in 2008, he was included in "Pittsburgh Born, Pittsburgh Bred," a new book commemorating 500 of the most influential Pittsburghers from the past 250 years.

With his latest release, Deasy returns to his acoustic roots. This inspired and varied set showcases the artist’s distinct brand of ruggedly poetic songwriting. From a well of acoustic guitar and simple piano, tales of hard-won maturity, dark regret, spiritual searching and unrequited love flow forth. At the heart of it all is Deasy's voice: vulnerable, beautiful, ragged, in short -- a different kind of wild.
