Bill Deasy

Bill Deasy is the former lead singer/songwriter of Atlantic Records' The Gathering Field, now recording as a solo artist and also as part of the duo Thomas Jefferson's Aeroplane. Performing Songwriter Magazine says of Deasy; "He calls to mind Paul Westerberg and many of the finest rock songwriters who mix poetry and drunken bluster, yet somehow sound macho and sensitive at the same time" and All Music Guide suggests that "Sensitive singer/songwriters are a dime a dozen, but really good ones are a rarity. Bill Deasy is the real deal. In a perfect world, you'd already know this..."

Deasy tours the country solo and with his bands and has shared the stage with artists such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Patty Griffin, World Party, John Mellencamp, Rufus Wainwright and John Hiatt. His songs have been recorded by a diverse array of artists including The Clarks, Michael Stanley, Kim Richey, One Flew South, British pop star Howard Jones and country stars Martina McBride and Bill Ray Cyrus. Deasy was also featured on national television singing his own song, "Good Things Are Happening," in a national promo for ABC's Good Morning America program. The campaign was scheduled to run for 10 weeks but due to its enormous popularity, wound up staying on the air for 3 1/2 years. In August of 2006 Bill Deasy added "published author" to his list of accomplishments with the release of his first novel, "Ransom Seaborn", which went on to receive the prestigious independent Needle Award.
