Bill’s original songs are renowned for their diverse influences and the poignant, elegant poetry of his lyrics.  Bill’s musical influences range from Blues and Folk to Latin and Balkan. His songs express his conviction that that there are real things within us that can carry us through hard times – things like memory and music and stories and love.  Bill doesn’t shy away from complex topics, but he transforms them with compassionate lyrics and cheerful,  catchy music.  And audiences respond – they get it, they feel it.  They know they’re moved by something real and joyful.  

Bill invites his audience into a deeply felt world with his Irish gift of storytelling, his passionate vocals and beautiful guitar work.  Bessie Wapp expands the Trio’s palette with musically intriguing accordion and keyboard accompaniment and solos. And her vocal harmonies are haunting.  The stand-up bass becomes an instrument of striking eloquence in the hands of the consummate musician, Mark Spielman.
