About Bill and John…
Bill…
Bill first developed a love for music early in life. Coming from a musical family, he soon found his natural ability to sing and perform. He began playing the drums at the age of 10 and quickly found himself playing many different styles of music with many different bands over the years. He has performed jazz, Dixieland, classical, rock, pop and everything in between. Growing up in the 70’s, he was heavily influenced by the singers and songwriters of that era. He is also a fan of many other styles of music. As he performed in bands and music programs through his school years, he knew he would have a lifelong connection to music.
After graduating high school, he attended Florida Southern College, continuing his studies in music. In addition to honing his performance on percussion, he began to study brass, strings, woodwinds, piano and voice. This is also the time he learned to play the guitar. Around the end of his college years, he became involved in aquatics and scuba diving, which led to his deep appreciation of the beaches and ocean.
Being a Florida native and growing up on the beaches soon influenced his music. Hearing Jimmy Buffett provided a way to experience some of the feelings of beach life through music. Bill has also been nominated for several Trop Rock Music Awards in 2016 and 2017, including Song of the Year, Album of the Year and the Horizon Award for best new artist.
Of course, one of the more significant things about Bill (at least in Heather’s world) is that you are guaranteed to have a Siesta Key Toasted Coconut tasting, and perhaps a fun story about how he is the first sponsorship for Siesta Key (Drum Circle Distillery)…
