 Bill Welch, from Rochester, NY, is an original songwriter, gifted musician with a soulful voice and an enormous heart. Over the last several years he has surrounded himself with experienced musicians who contribute diverse talents and collectively mold his music into a unique and evolving style. Categorizing the group is challenging, but common threads in Bill's lyrics are emphases on humility, compassion, and gratitude for the people in our lives. Bill has been fortunate enough to be called upon to open concerts for Edwin McCain, and Dave Koz. A recent highlight for the band involved a 1999 collaboration with Lou Gramm of Foreigner, in which thousands of dollars were raised for the Dimitri House, a Rochester homeless shelter and food supplier for the poor. Charity performances are central to the band's mission. All six band members are sincerely committed to outreach programs, particularly in the inner city, and one of the goals of the group is to share the music with everyone with a message of inclusion. Bill feels that the opportunity to compose and sing his songs is a gift from god.
