Ever since Bill sold hot dogs for ”Food For Love” at the Woodstock Festival in 1969, he has known it was on stage he wanted to be. He formed his first band, The Post War Baby Boom, with Stanley Eisen (aka Paul Stanley from Kiss) in the mid 1960s.
Bill has appeared on most Blues and Folk stages around the world, and has shared the stage with John Prine at the Edmonton Folk Festival, where they both fell in love with the same lady.
He was very well received when he came to Norway in the 1990s, and has been bandleader at the Muddy Waters Club in Oslo as well as contributor to Alexander Rybak’s ESC winner Fairytale.
Bill has turned seventy, won two Spellemannpriser (Norwegian Grammies) and he has written a songs for several Norwegian and International artists.
The collaboration with the songwriter and producer Kim Edvard Bergseth, is no coincidence, they have known each other for twenty years. "Bill is unique musical gem, and likes to mix different musical genres. It's always exciting to see where we end up!" (Kim Edvard Bergseth)
One of Bill's old friends from the Tom Russell years, Fats Kaplin contributes with some tasty pedal steel on the single "Hi Paradise".
