After retiring from a career in Corporate America, I decided to return to being a professional musician and performer, a business that I began in Vietnam in the 60's, where I would play for drinks in tips.
This time I chose to focus on Performing Arts Venues or Private Venues where my performancea could explore the history and music of the past singers, songwriters, and bands who became Musical Legends, as they melded Blues, Country, Folk, and Rock-A-Billy music into the exciting music era of the 1950's, 60's, 70's, and part of the 80's; a time which is now known as the Americana Genre. It represents the greatest musical transition in the history of music.
Musical history cycles tend to move forward and the back, providing Generations Of Audiences the opportunity to enjoy the music that they became famiiar with during the special times in their livesm and The Americana Genre satisfies the musical needs of my chosen audiences, which by the way, does not include Hip Hop or RAP music (no offense meant, but I simply don't understand it, so I don't play it).
Like many of the performers and songwriters whom I cover in my LEGENDS "Live Musical Documentaries", I am a Solo Performer, which allows me to sit down, pick up my guitar, and for an hour or two, present both the history and the music of Rock, Blues, Folk, and Country by the Legendary Performers who were always interesting, but also lived exceptionally chaotic lives, while changing the world of music.
My performances are an average of 90 - 120 minutes, but for a private gathering can be reduced in the length of time if requested.
I am available to discuss future performances for your Performing Arts or Private Party Venue, by emailing me at BillSparkman@msn.com.
