Bill Staines in Concert

Staines is an intimate, compelling performer, out of the folk scene of the 60s. After touring for over 4 decades, you would think that this musician and songwriter might think about slowing down. But Bill continues to perform more than 200 shows a year driving close to 70,000 miles getting to them. He has 26 recordings and has written over three hundred songs, many of which have been recorded by Peter, Paul, and Mary, Makem and Clancy, Nanci Griffith, Glen Yarborough, etc. His songs like “All God’s Critters,” “The Roseville Fair,” “Child of Mine,” and “River,” have become folk music classics. His humorous tales of life on the road and observations of everyday people provide an entertaining blend of story and song.
