Bill Lloyd is a Nashville-based award winning songwriter, Grammy nominated recording artist, musician and producer who is most often remembered as half of the late ‘80’s RCA country-rock duo, Foster and Lloyd. Lloyd’s diverse musical activities include working as a producer (ranging from Carl Perkins to MTV reality show indie-rockers, The Secret), a session player (from Brit-pop icons like Ray Davies of The Kinks, Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze and Ringo Starr) to country legends (Buck Owens and Steve Earle), a sideman (Poco, Marshall Crenshaw and with Cheap Trick when they performed The Beatles Sgt. Pepper with orchestra) and as a songwriter (with songs cut by Trisha Yearwood, Graham Gouldman, Martina McBride, Sara Evans, Hootie and the Blowfish and many more). He has recorded a string of critically acclaimed solo records that blend his melodic power pop sensibility with finely tuned song craft. During his stint as the Stringed Instrument Curator at The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, he helped create and host over forty programs of the quarterly series Nashville Cats.. He was the music director for the First Amendment Center’s Freedom Sings program 1999-2019. He also organized and plays in Nashville’s high concept cover band, The Long Players profiled on NPR’s All Things Considered. In 2019, Project: Ghost Outfit with Tom Petersson, Adam Shoenfeld and Keith Brogdon was digitally released. His most recent solo recordings can be found on both the Spyderpop label (Lloyd*ering in 2016 and Working the Long Game in 2018) and his own imprint, Whole In One (2GTRSBSDRMS in 2019 and Don’t Kill the Messenger in 2020).
