Bill Scorzari @ The Laughing Goat

Bill Scorzari is a New York-based singer-songwriter, often likened to Tom Waits, Steve Earle, Bruce Springsteen, and John Prine, and whose music equally hints at many other of today’s and yesterday’s troubadours, such as Neil Young, Justin Townes Earle, Leonard Cohen, Gregory Alan Isakov, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell and more. In 2014, Bill released his acclaimed debut album, Just the Same, and March of this year, marks the release of his sophomore album, Through These Waves. Through These Waves was produced by Jonah Tolchin (Yep Roc) and engineered, mixed, and mastered by Billy Bennett at the famed Bomb Shelter studio in East Nashville, TN. The album was recorded over twelve days with a cast of musicians including Joachim Cooder, Laur Joamets, Will Kimbrough, Chris Scruggs, Eamon McLoughlin, Jon Estes, Brent Burke, Kim Richey, Danny Roaman, Kyle Tuttle and more. In a recent interview with No Depression, Tolchin calls Bill Scorzari, “one of the greatest songwriters I’ve ever heard.” With sincere and robust lyrics, Scorzari’s raspy vocals usher the listener breezily into his world.
