The Bills are a high-impact, acoustic folk music quintet from the West Coast of Canada.[1][2] Formed in 1996 (as The Bill Hilly Band),[3] they have performed extensively throughout North America and Europe, with their strongest followings in Western Canada, the Western US, Ontario and the UK.
Though the lineup has had a few changes since the band first formed, the present-day Bills are:
- Marc Atkinson - mandolin, guitar, vocals[4]
- Richard Moody - violin, viola, vocals[5]
- Chris Frye - guitar, lead vocals[6]
- Adrian Dolan - fiddle, piano, accordion, vocals[7]
- Scott 'Grampa Bill' White - upright bass, vocals[8]
The group has also toured and recorded with both Joey Smith and Nick Mintenko on bass; Glen Manders ("Reverend Bill Bass") was the bassist from 1998 to 2008.[9]
Awards
At the 2006 Western Canadian Music Awards, The Bills won the award for Entertainer of the Year.[10] Their video for the song Old Blue Bridge was nominated for Video of the Year.[11]
The Bills received a nomination for Roots and Traditional Album of the Year - Group at the 2005 Juno Awards[12]
