Bill Staines

Singing mostly his own songs, Bill has become one of the most popular singers on the folk music circuit, averaging around 200 concert dates and over 65,000 miles a year. Weaving wit and gentle humor into his performances, "he has a sense of timing to match the best stand-up comic." Bill's music is a slice of Americana. His lyrical songs have been recorded by Peter, Paul & Mary, The Highwaymen, Makem and Clancy, Nanci Griffith, Mason Williams, Glen Yarborough, Jerry Jeff Walker, Grandpa Jones and Priscilla Herdman. Bill has recorded twenty-two of his own albums, fifteen of which are still in print. His songs have also been published in four songbooks with 2 of them containing nearly 100 of Bill's songs. Radio and TV appearances have included A Prairie Home Companion and Mountain Stage.
