Bill Bourne

A brief Biography of Bill
Bill was raised in a musical family in rural Alberta. When he was 2 years old, he was known to sleep behind the piano at country dances. His parents played dance music in community halls in beautiful farming country. The love of nature and of music and of people gathering for celebration has been with him for his whole life.

Testimonials.
"You've been an excellent teacher and a wonderful spirit to be around! I've never had a more satisfying experience with my music and I encourage you to continue producing and benefitting others and myself with your wisdom and great 'vibes'." - Dan Frechette
"He is a beautiful guitarist. When I heard him play, I said to myself, 'He's the one, he's the musician who will understand me." - Eivør Pálsdóttir
"I always thought Bill Bourne should have starred with Gene Hackman and Clint Eastwood in 'The Unforgiven'. He's a goddamn movie star, I'd say, with that black top hat and card shark face. More importantly, he is a 'shining light' in the 'North American' Folk Roots scene. He sings, plays guitar and writes with deep soul, and on the current musical landscape these talents constitute a revolutionary act of ART. Listen to Bill Bourne; get Religion, brother and sister. This is the real thing." - Tom Russell
