The Bill Lynch Trio is back to Starbelly! The Trio performs Bill’s original music from his first CD, Would You Speak on My Behalf, and from the new collection The Street of The Moon.

Bill’s original songs are renowned for their diverse influences and the poignant, elegant poetry of his lyrics. Bill’s musical influences range from Blues and Folk to Latin, Irish and Balkan. His songs express his conviction that that there are real things within us that can carry us through hard times – things like memory and music and stories and love. He is sure that we have the tools within us to even for a moment to heal this broken world. Bill invites us into a deeply felt world with his Irish gift of storytelling, his passionate vocals and beautiful guitar work.

Bessie Wapp transforms the trio’s palette with haunting vocal harmonies and musically intriguing accordion accompaniment. Bessie is well known throughout BC as a musician, theatre artist, educator and former Nelson Cultural Ambassador.

The stand-up bass becomes an instrument of striking eloquence in the hands of the consummate musician, Mark Spielman whose professional music career extends back 30 years at venues throughout North America and Germany. He is renowned in the Kootenays as a versatile bass player and instructor with the Selkirk College Music Program.
