Bill Eberle Named 'New Artist You Need to Know' By Rolling Stone
By: Caryn Robbins Jul. 01, 2016
Equal parts folk songwriter and roots rocker, Bill Eberle makes forward-thinking music that nods to the past while still pushing ahead. It's a folk record that pays tribute to the genre's traditions while moving into new territory. The journey to finding his sound began in Pittsburgh, where Eberle was born to a union family. Later, he logged several years in Brooklyn before pulling up stakes and moving to Nashville, where he's since established himself as a welcome alternative to the city's country music scene. His debut Matter & Time will cement his place as one of Music City's movers and shakers.
Bill spoke with Rolling Stone Country about his songwriting inspiration and what makes drives his creativity. Named by the magazine as one of summer's "Artists You Need To Know," check out what Bill had to share HERE. Bill will play a few shows in his adopted hometown in the coming months; don't miss your chance to catch him live: 7/13: Nashville, TN @ The Family Wash8/4: Nashville, TN @ The Basement If you're a seeker of truth and a lover of hypnotic fingerpicked guitar melodies, look no further than "Mean Mama Blues". The same can be said for the emotion in Eberle's voice singing his autobiographical single Same Old Town, which resonates with the earnest honesty and sweet songwriting that his album uses as its cornerstone. There's plenty of country-friend stomp on Matter & Time, and the album broadens Eberle's reach, touching on everything from the observational folk of "Ashes (Trayvon Martin Blues)" to the rowdy, roadhouse rock of his new single, "Too Late to Take it Back."
