Bill Adams - Roots Fingerstyle Guitar Music

About Me

Having been a trio, a quartet and a dou with special guests, Banty Rooster is now settling into the groove and challenge of a solo presentation. Still offering a range of country blues, rags, jug band songs, old fiddle tunes and classical guitar. His guitar style is rooted in the Piedmont Blues style incorporating that raggy alternating thumb technique to fiddle tunes and whatever he sings. Enjoy.

Artists Bill has opened for:

Ed Gerhard, Rory Block, John Jackson, George Melvin
