Having opened for legendary blues and rock artists such as Albert Collins, Albert King, Johnny Winter, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Flyers, Matt “Guitar” Murphy, Marshall Tucker, Steppenwolf, Foghat, and Charlie Daniels, Bill has established himself as a member of the blues community.

BLACK ROBOT Debut CD!! Featuring the singles "Baddass", "Cocaine" and "I'm in Love".
ALREADY AVAILABLE ON AMAZON.com!!!
Early reviews say: From the opening AC/DC inspired groove of “Cocaine” , a wickedly arranged cover of J.J. Cale’s narcotic classic, Black Robot serves instant notice with their self-titled debut that not only do they have it, they damn near destroyed the laboratory to get it. This mechanical/musical beast was conceived and constructed for the divine, ultimate destruction of brain cells, ear fibers and false perceptions about what it truly means to rock as if our very survival as a race depended on it. -Lonn Friend
