Bill Dempsey began
his career as a trombonist studying classical music and jazz. During the
early 60's he became interested in folk music. At one point he was
playing trombone in a small orchestra and working weekends in a jazz
band. After finishing work he would rush off to sing and play at a local
coffeehouse. It soon became clear that singing and playing guitar was
what he wanted to do. Over the years Bill has continued to learn new
instruments and new kinds of music while staying close to the folk and
traditional music he loves. |
