Bill’s discography includes guest performances by Chris Scruggs, Kim Richey, Joachim Cooder, Laur Joamets, Marie Lewey, Cindy Richardson Walker (a/k/a “The Shoals Sisters”), Jonah Tolchin, Neilson Hubbard, Eamon McLoughlin, Erin Rae, Will Kimbrough, Brent Burke, Matt Menefee, Kyle Tuttle, Michael Rinne, Danny Mitchell, and more.

His music has been premiered by Billboard, The Bluegrass Situation, Americana Highways, and others and has received critical acclaim from No Depression, Acoustic Guitar, Robert Christgau, Tom Hull, Americana UK, and many more as well. His albums have been included on “year-end-best-of” lists by Folk Alley, Making A Scene, Americana Highways, and more. In 2024, Robert Christgau ranked Bill’s 2022 release, The Crosswinds of Kansas, at #40 on his “The Best 84 Albums of 2023 (or so)” list.

Bill has charted on The Weekly Top 50 Alternative Folk chart—with a song at #4 and with an album at #8—and on The NACC Folk chart with an album at #15. His album, Through These Waves, was #1 on the Americana Music Association’s “Most Added” Radio chart in the first week of its release in 2017.

While he has completed two coast-to-coast, solo-headline National tours to date, he has also opened for Billy Strings (The Riverwalk Cafe’, Nashua NH, 2017); Big Country (The Paramount Theater —a 1500-cap venue in Huntington, NY, 2014); and Whiskey Meyers (at the former “The Shop” in New York City, 2016). Other performances of note include AmericanaFest (2016), Newport Folk Festival (2019), in the “For Pete’s Sake” program curated by Chris Funk of The Decemberists, and more.

Another recent milestone is having Del McCoury cover “Treat Me Kind” from Bill’s 2019 Now I’m Free album. Del’s rendition is included on The Del McCoury Band’s album Songs of Love and Life (released June 2024).

Bill began recording his fifth release—due out in 2025—at his New York studio, First Thunder Recording, on July 2, 2022, and he continued recording there for the following nearly two years, through June of 2024. He brought those recordings to Skinny Elephant Recording in Nashville in August 2024, where engineer Dylan Alldredge continued the recordings, with Bill and Neilson Hubbard co-producing. The final mixes were completed by engineer Nic Coolidge at Dead Pop Studios in Providence, RI, in early 2025, and engineer Hallie Melton completed the mastering in April 2025 in Nashville, TN. The new release includes 21 of Bill’s original songs. The first 10 tracks are included on the first album, Sidereal Days (Day 1), and the remaining 11 tracks are included on the second album, Sidereal Days (Day 2).

The release will be accompanied by three official music videos filmed in Nashville, five in-studio music videos, and multiple “behind the scenes” video clips from the Nashville recording sessions.
