Bill Nash has been a musician all his life. He was a 5-year-old boy soprano, a 4th grade french hornist (played horn all through college), a 15-year-old beginning guitarist and then an 18-year-old guitar teacher, and a graduate of Bradley University's School of Music, majoring in composition studying under the tutelage of Professor Dean Howard, and an almost master's degree from time at the University of Colorado (just one semester short!). Bill began writing music and lyrics in his early teens and his roots are firmly embedded in what is now known as the singer/songwriter acoustic music genre. He has performed styles as diverse as rock 'n roll, fusion, country, polka, folk, and even old-time western music, ala the Sons of the Pioneers.

Bill has 3 albums currently available, "Mostly True Stories" (1996) and "Runs With Scissors" (1998) and "Dreaming Again" (2010), containing mostly original songs and a few cover tunes from some of his favorite songwriters. His songs range from love songs to heartbreak songs, from true stories to completely imaginative fabrications, from protest songs to environmental songs, and he even wrote a tribute song for Uncle Calvin's Coffeehouse in Dallas ("... the best coffee and hugs in town!"), where he has been a volunteer almost every Friday night since 1993.

His newest album "Dreaming Again" is a compilation of a decade of award winning songs Bill penned from the beginning of the millenia to 2010. After dealing with multiple sclerosis for the past 23 years, Bill has had to develop a way of using altered tunings and multiple capos to allow him to continue to make beautiful music on the guitar using fewer fingers (digit numbness being a big part of MS). He is currently finding these new structures on the guitar, cataloging them on guitar charts, and eventually plans on putting all of what he's learned on video for release on YouTube, with a purpose of getting all people on the face of this earth playing the guitar! Bill has worked with veterans, disabled people... even people with lost fingers, and gotten them back to playing music! Note: Bill has put the information of the tunings/capo schemes he uses on these songs in the liner notes... he just wants everybody to be able to make music!

1998 - On "Runs With Scissors", Bill was delighted to be joined by the likes of Dana Cooper (harmonica), Chris Gage (honky tonk piano), Marsha Webb (classical piano), Denny Allen (bass guitar and recording engineer), and Don Conoscenti (practically everything, from wailing guitars to drum set to flute to dumbeck to metal chair!), and a very special group of 6 lady singers he affectionately calls "The RollAides" (referenced from his song, "She Rolls", for which they sang beautiful backup harmonies).

Bill has been invited to sing background harmony on mainstage at the Kerrville Folk Festival many times, with fine musicians from Anne Hills to Michael McNevin to Tom Prasada-Rao to Jana Stanfield to Albert & Gage to Josh White Jr, and was 1 of 4 invited singer/songwriters at the Dallas Campfire show hosted by Emilie Aronson on the Threadgill Theater stage at Kerrville in 1996.
