About Me

Drummer Bill Bougill, known for his ongoing work with the Shameless Strangers, continues to build a reputation as one of the most technically skilled and stylistically astute drummers in the Plattsburgh and northern NY area. Among those endorsing the young drummer's talent is internationally-recognized blues artist Chaz Depaolo and Ian Ethan Case, with whom Bougill continues to perform on a regular basis at a variety of choice venues in the region.
