Musician

During his 35 year career as an award-winning singer and songwriter, Bill has composed, recorded, produced and performed music that is as true to his American roots as it is inspirational to his audience. As an acknowledged master of the Native American flute, Bill has earned three Grammy awards along with multiple Native American Music awards in recognition of his songwriting.

During the course of his extensive career, Bill has cowritten with the likes of Nanci Griffith, Peter Rowan, Kim Carnes and his friend and mentor (comrade), Michael Martin Murphy. He has shared the stage and toured with such diverse artists as Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder, the BoDeans, Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie and Tori Amos.

In 2010, Bill released his highly anticipated “Chronicles Of Hope” album and "Spirit Wind East," the follow-up to the Grammy-winning "Spirit Wind North." Named after the four directions of the “Spirit Wind,” they honor all the North American Tribes.

Throughout his career, with one third of his time annually spent on the road, Bill would confess, “My music sustains my vision—it is a gift to be shared and a joy to perform.”
