Performing as a professional entertainer since 1973, Billy made up half of the popular Northwest folk/rock recording duo, “Blackhawk County.” Their 1976 hit single, “Oregon (I Can’t Go Home)” brought national recognition to the plight of JoAnn McDaniels, a political prisoner held in Turkey for nine years.
In addition to the “Rockets,” Bill has organized a traditional country band, “Bronco Billy” and plays with Gospel combinations with some of the area’s finest musicians.
As a diverse single entertainer he continues to perform in some of the Northwest’s most popular resorts and clubs. Following his interest in 19th century American history he, with wife Carla, produced five CD collections and toured nationally performing their four original stage presentations based upon the Civil War.
