About Me

Bill is an extraordinary singer, songwriter, pianist based in Boston whose music has been defined as Soulful, Funkified Jazz / R&B. He started playing rock and blues on the Hammond B3 organ on his first working gig with a bar band playing the waterfront in Troy, New York. This 9 piece band covered everyone from Chicago to Earth, Wind and Fire, to the Ohio Players and jam bands like The Allman Brothers, Santana, Tower of Power and Traffic.

A few bands later, Bill found himself on the road with club and small venue acts. Being self taught, Bill picked up everything he could from the wide variety of the players he toured with, including jazz standards, jazz fusion, reggae, southern rock and blues, alternative rock, and Latin / salsa.

He came to Boston to attend Berklee and learn more about his trade from the best. Boston is now his home, where he has backed up such artists as Paula Cole, Lynn Fiddemont, Charles Pedegrew, James Montgomery and others. Bill’s passionate, energetic show can be seen in the North East US at many clubs and festivals.
