From the beautiful West Coast of Canada comes this extraordinary
quintet, The Bills, renowned among fans of all ages for their
instrumental virtuosity, lush vocal arrangements, exuberant live performances,
evocative songwriting, and a refreshing sound that transcends musical
boundaries and defies simple categorization. Strings, bellows, keys, voices,
skin and bows - these are the vehicles for the Bills' unique sonic approach.
With individual band members sporting world-class credentials in folk/roots,
jazz, classical and world music, The Bills truly are a Canadian acoustic music
supergroup. |
