Hailing from Boston, Bill Fagley is a singer-songwriter with a unique voice and simple lyrics. He crafts songs that are immediately enjoyable and relatable. He has the ability to take the bittersweet moments of everyday life and make them poignant and heartbreaking. Bill’s songs sound at once familiar and fresh, sad and hopeful, simple and complex - he is a unique, honest voice that reminds the listener of an old friend.
Bill started playing music at a young age and studied opera and vocal performance in school. While earning a master's degree and currently practicing as a licensed therapist, Bill has somehow found a way to record his debut album which features many notable musicians from the Boston area including Neil Cleary, Zack Hickman, Sam Kassirer, and Austin Nevins. Bill has also been honing his chops playing solo shows around the Boston area over the past two years as well as singing back up vocals on records for other local musicians including Laura Cortese and Josh Ritter.
Bill takes his influences from the places he has called home. At any time in his music, you can hear laid-back New Orleans, warts-and-all Philadelphia, and hopeful New England. His sound includes emphasis on vocals and rhythms driven by acoustic guitars.

No pre-orders. You'll have to wait until November 6th like the rest of the world. It will be available on lulu.com , where you will be able to order a physical copy or download the album for free. Speaking of albums of the year? Any progress?
So if people ask me what I'm going to be for Halloween and I don't know, I just tell them the "One Night Stand" costume idea. Then I get the response of how clever/creative I am. Now I know how Puff Daddy must feel.
