Bill Nash Music

Bill has been a performer all his life, with music being the best way he could achieve his lifelong desire to perform professionally. His first love in life was singing at a very young age, then started playing French Horn in school (all through college), and then he learned  guitar, taking lessons when he was 14 years old. The guitar became the first instrument he could teach music with, and by 18 years old, he was teaching in the same store where he took his original lessons.

Bill went on to get a Bachelor's Degree at Bradley University in Music Composition, where he began to write for ensembles and orchestra while in college. After graduation, his professional life in music started, first in his continuing job teaching guitar, and then he also joined several bands, playing styles as varied as horn bands, rock 'n roll, 4 part vocal bands, fusion bands, country music, polka music, folk music, and even old-time western music, ala the Sons of the Pioneers.

Somewhere during this time, Bill began to write his own songs, while studying other song writers, like Jackson Browne, Janis Ian, Guy Clark, James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, and Harry Chapin. His songs mostly tend to tell stories (the Chapin effect) about real people and life moments.

Since then, Bill has written hundreds of songs, and has produced 3 of his own CDs that are available to his listeners. Over the last 4 years, he has teamed up with several co writing songwriters, and honed his craft even further.
