Welcome to the music and mayhem of Shotgun Bill .... Feel free to kick off your shoes and brows around.
Hailing from Middletown, New Jersey, Bill began playing bass in 1973, playing in bands throughout high school and college, before life eventually took him in a different direction. He has been working with Frank Patrouch since 2012, through a solo CD of Frank’s. This reunion prompted them to make a new record as a duo, 2015’s ‘One Good Line’, and hit the road, playing coffeehouses with their own brand of 70’s country rock. In 2016 he released “ Shotgun Bill- the B- Sides”. Also in 2016, Frank & Bill release another CD entitled “ Unplugged and Uncouth”. In the summer of 2017 he released his 2nd solo album with16 new original songs, " Train Cars,Prison Bars...and a White Guitar" ( all titles on Itunes, Amazon, CD Baby and Band Camp and Spotify.) His music style is a blend of coffee house americana with an original singer / songwriter vibe.
He performs at local coffee houses and venues playing a compilation of original songs here at the Jersey Shore. Bill Anania is a Podiatrist and resides and practices in Middletown, NJ with his wife and has one son (who plays drums on "The B-Sides). `�
