Bill Tucker

I was born in Jacksonville, FL and raised in West Covina, CA. Hey, I named "Walmerado Park"! Anyway, here's a mix of surf and pop from my O.C. project studio; featuring memorable melodies, catchy hooks and jangly guitar. You might even think. Merseybeat!
My first band was The Malards (As in duck! Yes, only 1 el, tricky huh?), Then I went on to join The Sound Foundation (a high school sponsored 'New Christy Minstrels' type group), Just Before 60, Wacks and Albion Moonlight. My songwriting partner John Simon and I almost signed with Shelter Records in the late 70's during the Dwight Twilley/Tom Petty era. We were disappointed we didn't make the final cut, but we did continue to perform in Southern California at places like The Cuckoo's Nest and Madame Wong's. One of our songs, "Do You", almost made Phil Seymour's debut album! Phil really liked the tune but it was cut at the last minute. Oh well. at least it was published by Bug Music Group.
I spent a good part of the 90's moonlighting as an airbrush artist.
Then, in 2001 I was selected along with 9 fellow employees at at&t to record a
company-wide promotional CD called ERICfest. We met with
producer/recording artist Doug Robinson at Capitol Records in
Hollywood
to record a collection of 10 Beach Boys songs. I sang "Surfer Girl".
The release of the CD was followed by a live performance with The Beach
Boys at Universal Amphitheater. Very cool.
This experience re-energized my musical aspirations so I joined the
sound production crew at my church and started helping lead
worship singing with the Praise Team. I've since written, recorded and
produced 2 CDs.Watch Over Me, a spiritual collection of original
songs and Briardale, a mainstream pop/rock project. Both of these are
available at CD Baby, Jam Records and iTunes.
