Meet Bill Worrell: a globe-trotting musician who captivates audiences worldwide. Notably, Bill has shared the stage as lead guitarist for the esteemed Grammy Award-winning band, America.
Bill's musical tapestry weaves together the vibrant threads of rock, blues, and progressive rock, creating a sound that resonates with audiences of all walks of life.
Hailing from the musical hub of Los Angeles, CA, Bill's upbringing was steeped in the melodies of the industry. His father, the esteemed Jeff Worrell, carved his own legacy as a lead guitarist for icons like Natalie Cole before transitioning to live mixing, collaborating with musical luminaries such as Fleetwood Mac, Pat Benatar, and Peabo Bryson. Surrounded by such luminaries from an early age, Bill's journey into music was not just inevitable but enriched by invaluable lessons imparted by legends like Edgar Winter and Bread.
During his formative years, Bill delved deep into the world of jazz, garnering acclaim and accolades for his exceptional talent. His dedication to his craft culminated in a Bachelor's degree in Classical Guitar Performance from California State University Northridge.
Bill's ascent to the professional music scene began humbly as a guitar technician for America, where fate would soon propel him into the spotlight. Following the departure of lead guitarist Michael "Woodsy" Woods, Bill seamlessly stepped into the role, wielding his guitar with finesse while also lending his talents as a keyboardist and vocalist.
In 2016, Bill embarked on a new chapter, charting his own musical odyssey. Since then, he has dazzled audiences with a plethora of independent singles, EPs, and albums, cementing his status as a versatile artist unbound by genre constraints.
Bill's virtuosity extends beyond the stage, earning him acclaim in unexpected arenas, such as his triumph in the Nashville Soccer Club's 2022 Guitar Competition, proudly hosted by Gibson. His distinctive talent has not only earned him accolades but also the honor of opening multiple games and receiving a custom NSC-branded guitar.
