Biography
Acoustic/Electric Cheese plays Bluesabilly, a unique kind of Blues with a Rockabilly/Country twang. Here are the tawdry histories which continue to haunt the individual band members to this very day:
Bill Harper, Vocalist, entertainer, guitarist
Bill Harper started his musical career way back in 1967 while still in high school. His first televised performance was June 1970 on Seattle's KING 5 television station. He was a member of a high school vocal group who did a "live" television performance for a local morning television broadcast. As the leader of "Powder River", Mr. Harper recorded and published a record in 1980 which was aired on local radio stations and sold well in local retail outlets. Mr. Harper's musical performance career spans four decades (hard to believe, eh?)
Ken Cofield, Vocalist, entertainer, guitar and bass
Bassist Ken Cofield has been playing music in Seattle-area bands since 1977. He first started out as a bassist and backup singer in a heavy metal rock band, and after learning to walk upright performed at festivals, in schools and auditoriums, and in a cross section of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly bars and taverns all across Washington. Mr. Cofield is normally a shy, reserved person. He played guitar and bass in Irish bands for years and yet, with his two clumsy left feet, never mastered the Irish jig. He has never played the drums.
