Bill Staines

The Our Times Coffeehouse is pleased to present folk troubadour Bill Staines on Friday, January 16, 2015. His annual visit is a 25-year tradition, so join us in welcoming him and celebrating 25 years of live music in an intimate setting.

For more than 45 years, Bill Staines has been on the road singing his songs at the country’s top festivals, concerts, clubs and coffeehouses. His songs have been recorded by musicians including Peter, Paul and Mary, Nanci Griffith, and Jerry Jeff Walker. Staines writes about cowboys, Yukon adventures, fishermen and everyday working people. This is an artist who plays over 200 dates a year and puts 65,000 miles on his car annually. His lovely, infectious melodies, his warm, smooth baritone and his prowess on the guitar make him one of the most popular singers on the folk music circuit.

Bill Staines has recorded 26 critically acclaimed solo albums, including two for children, and in addition to all his performances, he continues to write and release new original music. “Bill Staines has been my hero since 1977,” stated Nanci Griffith. “He carries on where Woody left off—carrying on the tradition of stories and characters you wish you knew.”
