Nominated for "Solo Artist" and "Up and Coming Entertainer of The Year," by the Maine Country Music Association, Bill's, acoustic solo performances and concerts total an amazing 500 plus shows a year. He has shared the stage with legendary guitarist Eddie VanZandt, and performed several times for Maine's Governor Paul LePage. He's had the pleasure of meeting and playing for the great song writing hall of famer, Bob Crewe and the honor of swapping licks and songs with Maine Country Legend and Country Music Hall of Fame star, Slim Andrews. |
He has made multiple guest appearances on both radio and television and in 2021 and 2022 he hosted the internet and television program, "The Farmhouse Retirement Home," performing for audiences in the United States, Australia and Canada.
Bill recently completed work on two manuscripts, "Arthur And The Church Mice," and "How To Earn A Living Playing Guitar."
Bill is currently working for General Dynamics at Bath Iron Works as a Pipe-fitter. That's a fancy way of saying the government is paying him pretty good money to be a plumber on Navy ships. His 13 year music career came to an end about the time of the great toilet paper shortage (pandemic) of 2020. Three years later and the music industry at retirement communities still hasn't recovered. There comes a time when you gotta "Fish or cut bait." That's a not so fancy way of saying it was time to get into a different line of work. Bill headed back to the trades, back where he started.
These days he's putting his time and effort into renovating the family homestead and getting ready for retirement.
Thank you to all those kind folks who made it possible to live the dream.
You are amazing and we are all eternally grateful.
