Welcome in the New Year as Bill makes his annual visit to the Our Times Coffeehouse. A New England native, singing mostly his own songs, BILL STAINES has become one of the most popular and prolific performers on the folk circuit today. Bill weaves a warm blend of wit and gentle humor into his performances, and as one reviewer wrote “he has a sense of timing to match the best stand-up comic.” His music is a slice of Americana , reflecting with the same ease, his feelings about the prairie people of the Midwest or the adventurers of the Yukon . He may even do a yodeling tune or two — having won the National Yodeling Championship in 1975 at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas . Bill Staines has entered his fourth decade as a folk performer, on guitar, with an international reputation.
“Any new song that can live comfortably beside the well-worn songs of folk tradition has a good chance of surviving the test of time. Such, we believe, are the songs of Bill Staines” — Charles “Sandy” Paton, Folk Legacy Records http://www.folk-legacy.com/store/Scripts/default.asp
