By the way, I will be building a new link for my alternate tuning/multiple capos workshops and information, but in the meantime here's a link to the only capo company in the world I use... Shubb capos are the capos I use exclusively! Here's the link:

Shubb capos are the way to go!

I got to perform on the main stage at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival in Lyons, Colorado August 17, 2003 with 3 of my fellow song schoolers (Christopher Smith, Jenny Bruce, and Stephanie Corby)!! Steve Szymanski (the guy who coordinates the song school) asked me early on Saturday during the festival if I would like to participate in a song school circle on the main stage Sunday morning, and of course I was beside myself with yesses!!! It was huge fun and an hour I won't ever forget, I even got to do my "Colorado" song for the Colorado audience!!

Here's me on mainstage at the Rocky Mountain Folks Festival 2003 (taken by my old friend Joseph Leavell)!!

"...knows everybody, everybody knows him, or should..." -- quote from songwriter Bill Kahler's links

"There are those gifted few who draw you in with just a phrase... Bill Nash is one of those songwriters. Whether you are a songwriter or just someone who admires songwriters, you owe it to yourself to own a copy of this wonderful music. Bill is a gifted writer, a songwriter's songwriter, who graciously pours his life into yours, leaving you just a bit richer for knowing him. I have picked with Bill, and I will never forget the experience. Bill Nash is a treasure." -- quote from Greg Young from CDBaby.com

"I've been listening to the eloquent songs of Bill Nash for a long time now. He's one of those generous spirits that you can't forget... It's high time we got him down here at Anderson Fair!" -- quoted from Ken Gaines, host of the Songwriter's Night Showcase, Anderson Fair, Houston, TX

"(Bill) has an amazing ability to create humor and sheer beauty from even his darkest memories... Even after two encore performances, it was obvious the crowd would have insisted on a third, had time permitted!" -- Jenny Wood, Dallas Folk Music Society newsletter

"What a great compilation of music! The words stick with you long after your listen is over. The stories will strike a cord with any listener and the harmonies carry you through the CD on the back of a genuine songwriter whose storytelling voice draws the listener into the scene. My favorite time to hear this one; weekend mornings with coffee." -- Allyson Hurt from CDBaby.com

Also, big thanks to all who voted for me as "Audience Favorite" at the 2003 WildFlower Festival Songwriting Contest (and again to be chosen in 2006)... way cool, and the festival is always a blast!!

-- The Kerrville experience is always coming up again, looking forward to 2013 and many more great Camp NashBill experiences!!!

Music, music, music...

Hi, I'm Bill Nash and I live in Dallas, Texas and play music when I can... welcome to my home page! I now have some audio mp3s of my music on this page (see below)... this page will always seem to be under construction!!! :)

I have been a musician all my life, starting at a very young age (5 years old as a boy soprano) and with an all-consuming passion of wanting to make music for the rest of my life. Over the years, I have also turned to songwriting and love to spin a story inside a song!

I have 3 CDs available, the first called "Mostly True Stories" (1996), another called "Runs With Scissors" (1998), and the new CD "Dreaming Again" (2010). The 3 CDs have 37 of my own songs recorded on them and 3 cover tunes of a few of my favorite songwriters. Many people consider my music folk music, and stories of life and love are my specialty... I attempt to tell stories ala Harry Chapin, although I can only hold a candle to the master!!

If you're interested in my CDs, drop me an email and ask for details. By the way, I have been getting a lot of spam lately, so I decided to alter my email address below (that's where most of the spammers get their information, from the website!)... take out the NOSPAM and the address will work for email
bill@putsieNOSPAMcat.com

You can purchase "Mostly True Stories" online at CDBaby: My CD Baby Mostly True Stories page
or "Runs With Scissors" online at CDBaby: My CD Baby Runs With Scissors (CD only) page
and my newest CD "Dreaming Again" online at CDBaby: My CD Baby "Dreaming Again" page

Digital versions of my songs are also available on sites like itunes.com
