Pile O’ Rocks • Bill Starks

• Celebrating the music of Rockpile, Nick Lowe, Dave Edmunds, and more, this Washington DC based quartet excels in performing UK pub rock and American roots rock & roll

• Bill Starks - is an award winning songwriter and keyboard player with a rockin' piano style and a tendency to defy genres, blending rock n roll, honky tonk, boogie woogie and blues into a kind of Americana musical gumbo.

As a member of DC's longtime favorite Americana group Ruthie and the Wranglers, as well NRBQ tribute band Me & the Boys, and a BandHouse Gigs regular, Bill is a favorite for DC audiences, with a lovable lived-in voice, amazing piano chops, and a distinctive songwriting style. His tune "300 Miles from Memphis To New Orleans" won WAMA's song-of-the-year award.  In addition to recording with Ruthie and the Wranglers, Bill has released two solo CD's, "I See Trouble" and "Do You Hear Me Now?" on Azalea City Recordings. In 2015 Bill received the WAMA Songwriter of the Year award.
