Bill started playing piano by ear at age 3, and 50-plus years later he’s still at it.  In the1970’s he played keys in blues-rock bands in the Seattle-area in gone-but-not-forgotten clubs such as the Rainbow, the G-Note, and the Buffalo.  After taking an 18-year break from performing, Bill has been a regular in the Seattle blues scene, playing with such artists as Kathi McDonald, Jack Cook, David Hudson, and Jeff Herzog.  

Major keyboard influences:  Dr. John, Professor Longhair, James Booker, Floyd Cramer, Dave Lewis, Booker T.
