Description
** Bill Carleton Band is the Hartford Advocate's Reader's Poll Choice 2006 Winner for: Best Duo (Bill Carleton and Lee Sylvestre), Best Bassist (Dan Prindle) and Best Drummer (Travis LaMothe)**
With lyrical songwriting and a universal emotional appeal, Bill Carleton has spent the last decade impressing audiences all over the Northeast. Influenced by Shawn Colvin, similar to John Mayer, and evoking Dave Matthews in his shows, Bill remains brilliantly unique - a talented songwriter with his head in the clouds, and his feet firmly grounded in everyday life.
Bill plays his songs solo, in an acoustic duo or trio, and with the Bill Carleton Band in some of the best venues in the Northeast, including the The Common Ground (Cambridge, MA), Coda (New York City), Kenny's Castaways (New York City), Webster Theater (Hartford, CT), Main Pub (Manchester, CT), The Stone Balloon (Delaware) and The Space (Hamden, CT).
The Bill Carleton Band line-up includes Lee Sylvestre (lead guitar), Tony Parlapiano (piano/keyboards), Travis LaMothe (drums), and Dan Prindle (bass). The band also regularly features additional talent including Craig Struble from the bands Fivewise and Percy Hill (harmonica).
As a group, the band's live performances remind one of Counting Crows and the Barenaked Ladies, with electric and acoustic renditions of Bill's songs, as well as respectfully covered tunes by Bruce Hornsby, Johnny Cash, John Mayer and Men at Work.
They have shared bills with popular touring artists and bands, including Ari Hest, The Alternate Routes, Snoozebox, Mighty Purple, Joe Beleznay, RANE, Tim Blane, and Lilith Fair performer Lori Amey. Bill's fan base has grown from local to statewide, and continues to grow in New England and throughout the United States.
The full band is currently recording their latest album, Diving Dreamers (Tides Records), which follows on the heels of his first studio effort, As Promised (Independent). Released in 2004, As Promised tells a modern coming of age story of sorts - the tale of one man's victorious emergence from his quarter-life crisis.
In the past two years, Bill independently sold out all copies of As Promised via cdbaby.com and direct sales at his shows.
He performed over 130 shows in 2005, and his relentless work ethic drives him to continue bringing his music to fans along the East Coast.
