Jill Paone Simmons

As a vocalist Jill Paone Simmons might be called a jack-of-all-trades. She is as comfortable singing a prayerful Ave Maria in church as she is belting out a blues tune in a smoky bar.Jill has performed as vocalist for a variety of blues, rock and gospel bands. Jill has also contributed her voice and creativity to recording for several other local musicians including Bill Toms and Hard Rain, Tom Breiding, Jill West and John Vento. She plays with all the best keyboardists in the Pittsburgh area, most often teaming up with John "Junkman" Burgh. Recently, she's joined Bill Toms and Hard Rain on vocals, and adds her sweet-soulful voice to Bill's acoustic shows as well.Jill's philosophy as a performer is to always give it her heart and soul. Whatever the gig, whatever the song, Jill will sing it with passion and knock your socks off with her range and power. For bookings, please email Jill at [email protected] or call 412-951-1378.
