BILK tm BIO
Bill K grew up in NC. He started developing an interest in playing piano at age
6 but it didn’t go so well. He had a renewed interest in piano after discovering
a copy of The Beatles album, "Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band", hidden
among the classical music LPs in his parent’s cabinet. This time he re-started
music, and though piano didn’t last long (it got swapped for guitar around
college years) love of music, particularly The Beatles music, has been a lasting
effect. As years went on Bill went through periods of waxing and waning
involvement in various musical projects. In Bill’s words, Only in the past few
years has the full realization of the precariousness and precious nature of life
viewed paradoxically against the repressive energy with which most people limit
their lives compelled me to become an active performer."
For the last couple years Bill’s been living in the
Philly, PA region and playing to mass crowd gatherings across the northeast.
Bill has played for over 25,000 people in the last year. With his band, "Dog’s
Run Free," as well as at frequent solo performances, Bill has continued to
acquire a steady stream of good reviews, outstanding memories and many fantastic
new friends. You may have heard some of Bill’s original songs, such as: "Win
This Race", "Impossible Is Not A Fact", "Free Smiles", "Particle in a Box"
"Speed Monkey" as well as his latest creations: "I’m havin’ a better day than
Paris(Hilton)", "Unstoppable Forces" and "The Wind." The highlight of
Bilk’s summer thus far has been performing for the LOVE PARK SUMMER LUNCHTIME
CONCERT SERIES (twice actually)...says Bilk, "Never have I felt so much love and
acceptance when presenting my own material as I have down in the heart of
Philadelphia...to hear my songs reverberating off the skyscrapers and feel the
acceptance of the city was a sublime and marvelous experience I will never
forget... To think back to a few years ago when I was learning to perform, by
playing in the street just blocks away and subway stations underneath this very same
spot, somehow makes it all feel very unreal." Bilk performed at large crowd gatherings such as: The
Wilmington Marathon, Penn’s Landing, Wilson Farm Park Amphitheatre Summer
Concert Series, Wilmington’s St Anthony’s Festival, and The Philadelphia
Distance Run. In my mind, says Bill K, "The two local venues that have gone out
of their way to make me feel like I’m at home away from home when I perform are:
Burlap and Bean Coffee
(in Newtown Square) and
= MILKBOY COFFEE = (in Brynn Mawr).Bill
also plays area open mics occasionally where local fans truncated his sign in
name of Bill K. to the abbreviated name Bilk by which he is sometimes better
known. OK by me, says Bill who has recently been building a website named
BILKMUSIC.com
Bills works have been included in the soundtracks of
multiple motion pictures such as the 2005 release, Perimeter Run which won an
award at the Hawaii Film Festival. Additionally, Bill recently finished creating an entire soundtrack and score for a film entitled, Facing Tomorrow.
The movie, conceived of by local area resident Joe Spampinato, was filmed in New
Zealand. The raw edginess of the movie which deals with such issues as
isolation, loss, life values and suicide, gave a strong emotional base from
which I was able to draw on when creating songs, says Bill. I think this made
for some interesting material. Granted a few of the songs were a bit darker than
I would normally shoot for, but they were necessary for the picture. Also, I
balanced them with some more positive
material which is more my usual style. Most of the work of creating these
arrangements was done in Bills home studio using multitrack recording, but the most fun part of the project for Bill
was the full-scale recording sessions. The
musicians met in a 300-year-old Friends Meeting House in Newtown Square. Film
crews were also present and the sessions have been aired on Comcasts
Channel 2 Public Access Channel. Some of the music developed for this
project developed a place in the newly released music album: From Monkey With
Love" by Bilk, released on the Philadelphia based: "Dogs Run Free" Label.
The album is currently on sale online...see link above to CD Baby.
Bill’s concerts are a truly eclectic blending point of classic jazz, rock,
blues, reggae, poetry, literature and raw emotion. His musical heroes include
The Beatles, Cole Porter, Louis Armstrong,
Nat King Cole, and Jack Kerouac (ok
so Jacks not really technically a musician). You will definitely not hear the
same old songs at a BILK Show. States Bilk, "I usually strive to re-invent a standard if I’m
going to do it at all. Who wants to hear the same thing the same way for the
hundredth time? I strive to get the audience to feel that they are a part of the
music and that the music is relevant to now. George Gershwin had it right when
he said that, "True music must repeat the thought and inspirations of the people
and the time. My people are Americans. My time is today."
more music and pics ...maybe video...etc...coming soon...stay tuned.

GROOV-STER OF THE WEEK..have you seen this man. If so contact local authorities, this man is wanted for failing to adhere to standard conservative values.
