The Bills (Bill Booth & Bill Troiani) - "Til The Blues Have Gone" single/videoclip/album

The Bills bestaat uit Bill Booth en Bill Troiani. Beide doorgewinterde muzikanten zijn van Amerikaanse afkomst, maar verhuisden jaren geleden - los van elkaar - naar Noorwegen. In duo-vorm en in verschillende band-formaties speelden ze veelvuldig met elkaar, maar van een samenwerking in de studio was het nog nooit gekomen. Vanaf maart 2020 begonnen ze echter samen aan nieuwe songs te werken en namen ze afgelopen zomer - onder de noemer The Bills - hun debuut-album “Til The Blues Have Gone” op. Naast een Son House-cover en een ‘spoken word’-slot bevatten de 12 eigen tracks een traditionele mix van blues, swing, soul, country en folk.

“Til The Blues Have Gone” is de eerste single/videoclip!

​Bill Booth and Bill Troiani (The Bills) are both well established and experienced American musicians, who have been living in Norway for many years. They have played together as a duo and in different bands over the years, but oddly enough, they have never recorded and released music together – before now. Individually, these solid musicians have already made their mark in the Norwegian music industry, covering a range of genres from blues to folk rock. They have published their own material, gaining national and international accolades, and worked with some of the greatest artists in Norway. With years of stage experience and a deep knowledge of American musical heritage, The Bills convey the essence of the American cultural character in a convincing and humorous way. Since 2012 veteran musicians Billy Troiani (originally from New York) and Bill Booth (with Maine roots) have performed extensively as a duo, combining Billy T’s soul and blues style with Bill Booth’s Americana and folk to create their own sound. Their first album “Til The Blues Have Gone” features newly penned songs containing traditional elements of deep blues, swing and country, combining their distinct vocal blend, Billy T’s driving bass, Bill Booth’s blues style fiddle and guitar work, with Alexander Pettersen’s rhythm on the drums.

Op 15 januari verschijnt in de Benelux de debuut-cd: “Til The Blues Have Gone”​
