[Bu Bloga Abone Ol]
...Though Bill dutifully took lessons from the neighborhood piano teacher, at home he was raised on a steady diet of southern music the likes of Willie Nelson and Earl Scruggs. By middle school his best friend and fellow piano student played him a solo version of Jim Croce's 'Bad Bad Leroy Brown', and the door to roots, blues & soul music was permanently opened. By high school Van Morrison, Professor Longhair, Jimmy Smith & Stax had been discovered, and a few years on the Gulf Coast of Florida led to to a lifelong passion for the music of the Caribbean.
Ultimately landing in California, Bill initially cut his teeth playing in the local Los Angeles ska & reggae scenes, and has had the honor of backing old-school reggae legends such as The Ethiopians, Ken Boothe, Dennis Alcapone, The Maytones, Stranger Cole and Derrick Morgan as well as membership in rock-steady stalwarts and local favorite OCEAN 11. The infamous chicken-fried Monday-night blues jams at South Central LA's Babe & Ricky's Inn led to stints with the deeply soulful SHAWN BARRY, blues award-winner ZAC HARMON. In addition to his solo work, Bill also currently leads the steady-giggin' THE BOOGALOO ASSASSINS (recently nominated for Best Latin Band by the OC Music Awards) a loving tribute to the great latin boogaloo/salsa sound of New York in the late 60's/early 70's.
Bill can be found gigging both solo and with his band regularly in southern california - most recently at the Roxy, the Mint, Saint Rocke, Room 5, On the Rox, and the Continental Room. check the upcoming shows for what's up next. ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT gigs, etc., please drop me a line here at myspace or at Facebook.
UPDATE - FALL 2008: tracks from "Move My Way" have received radio play on over 150 college radio stations around the country!
