About Me

Hey All,
I'm in New York City. I was born in Georgia. My favorite music town is New Orleans. I play piano/organ/accordion any thing with keys. I sing. AKA "Sweet William, Blackbeard, Brother Bill, Lippy the Pants, Captain Bill (from that sailing trip)"
I have my own group that I like to call the Go Cup All Stars made up of some of the best New York/New Orleans has to offer. Come see us...
I back up several talented songwriters/bands including at one point or another Andrew Vladeck , The Jack Grace Band Johanna Stahley , Alex McMurray , Bubble , David Kolker , Jake Walker ...
