Bill O. has been playing professionally for 25 odd (yes odd) years. IN 1990 when Bill moved to Memphis Tenn., he was selected to perform in "THE CROSSROADS SHOWCASE" venue not once but twice, and also "THE CUTTING EDGE MUSIC CONFERENCE" in New Orleans. Bill was also a finalist in the statewide MARLBORO MUSIC TALENT ROUNDUP. The finals were held at the world famous B. B. KINGS niteclub.
Bill has performed in many Memphis local hot spots with a band he formed in 1996, THE BIG BANG. He and the band took a break from playing in Tennessee and the surrounding staters in 1996 thru 1998, and had the priviledgeof entertaining the troops on their overseas tours of Korea, Japan, and Guam for the Department of
Defense. After returning to the USA, The Peabody Hotel Rooftop parties, Memphis Redbird games, Sleep Out Louies alley parties were just a few of the venues where they could be heard pleasing the crowds.
The birth place of the blues, BEALE STREET, is where you can frequently find Bill these days, playing for crowds from around the world with 2 WEEKS NOTIS
