Bill Liggett

Bill Liggett
Bill Liggett doesn’t write in genres, he writes in moods. According to Bill, the music is an outward representation of the artist’s inner life and therefore the mood and concept is what dominates rather than surface considerations of style. “I write to a mood or an idea and interpret it with music,” says Liggett. “Sometimes it’s jazz, sometimes it’s acoustic rock, country, folk … even classical. But most of the time it’s signer-songwriter kind of stuff.” In any case, it’s a pure expression of self from an artist alive with talent and passion.
Life and Desire
Music is where life and desire melt into a sublime reality – and it’s a reality experienced by all via the communicative powers of music. “Music makes me feel a sort of preoccupied yearning for as much life as can be felt from within and from others.” The best artists are those who can find that unique place where the inner self converges with the outward reality – where it dovetails with other inner selves. It’s the true purpose of music, a meeting of spirits through the joy of song. That’s what drives him.
Day-to-Day
The simple core of life, past distractions. The vitality of the human spirit in whatever form. Therein lies the focus of Bill Liggett's songwriting ideas. “I write about the hardships and the joys of others,” says Liggett, “the sacrifice of simple folks in their day-to-day struggle, their success and failure.” What it means to be human is the dark and the light, the joy and the pain – the realities of everyday. And those “day-to-day” aspects of life are the fuel for the flame that burns in every Bill Liggett song.”
