His deep set list makes sure that whoever comes through the door will hear something they like. Always the consummate professional, both in front of and behind the microphone, Bill will have a home here for as long as he wants one.

Bill is a class act and a very talented musician!
He has been a great supporter of our little Club and his performances have been wonderful. He is a true Professional in every sense of the word. We work with quite a few Acts and no one has been more enjoyable and accommodating to work with. We definitely plan to book him again before he gets too busy.

Bill West's CD "Thanks for Listening" is one of 3 CDs that I listen to in my car. I always feel calm, reflective, and chilled out after listening to it. I've seen Bill perform live 3 times now, and he is really amazing. It is great to be able to listen to him whenever I want to now that I have his CD. BUY IT! You won't be disappointed.

...Bill West has slugged it out for two years as a solo musician, plugging away on the local bar/coffeehouse circuit where he played for tips and cash at the door. On his latest CD, that apprenticeship in the Triad's dimly lit caverns apparently has paid off. West sounds like a young Peter Gabriel in spots and phrases his songs in a touching, yet non-affecting way that only adds to the CD's superb ebb-and-flow poignancy between emotion and musicianship... - Jeri Rowe, Triad Style, Greensboro, NC
...very good, plays wide range of pop sounds, works hard and is great to work with... - Jay Stephens- Owner of Ziggy's , Winston Salem, NC
...Singer-songwriter Bill West and his band, The Flood, just put out a self-titled five song EP CD on West's own label- MUSCADINE Records, and they're simply the real deal. Here's the long and short of it - the Cd is great...All of these songs feature terrific lead vocals from West, who has got one of those chick-magnet rock voices like Bad Company's Paul Rogers...he could sing a nursery rhyme and it would sound terrific..... - Allison King, ESP Magazine, Greensboro, NC

Bio
Songs are everything. The music business originally revolved around songs - (good songs). Bill West is sticking to that ideal as he continues to write great songs, record albums, and tour relentlessly to sell them. Since 1999, he has performed over 1,000 solo acoustic shows from Canada to Key West and everywhere in between. Bill has also played solo or in bands that have opened for the likes of The Goo Goo Dolls, David Mead, Counting Crows, Sister Hazel, Kenny Wayne Shephard, Rudy Gatlin, Elliot Sloan, Joe Walsh, and many more. His songs have received countless compliments and adoration and have been played for thousands of satisfied audience members in the past few years of working and touring. Bill recently began work on his latest album entitled 'Pass'. Dale Baker (formerly of Sixpence None the Richer) will be playing drums on this amazing new record of twelve carefully constructed pop rock songs. Please listen to Bill's audio samples or visit his web site to learn more about this promising and dedicated young artist.
