Bill Deasy is the former lead singer/songwriter of the Gathering Field, whose regional hit "Lost in America" led to a deal with Atlantic Records. His new CD, "Chasing Down a Spark" is the follow-up to his 2003 release, "Good Day No Rain," which received rave reviews and airplay nationwide. Performing Songwriter Magazine says: "He calls to mind Paul Westerberg and many of the finest rock songwriters who mix poetry and drunken bluster, yet somehow sound macho and sensitive at the same time" and All Music Guide suggests that "Sensitive singer/songwriters are a dime a dozen, but really good ones are a rarity. Bill Deasy is the real deal. In a perfect world, you'd already know this..." Deasy has been touring the country both acoustically and with his new band and has also appeared as an opening act for artists such as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Patty Griffin, John Mellencamp and Norah Jones. His songs have been recorded by a wide array of artists including The Clarks, Michael Stanley, Kim Richey, British pop star Howard Jones and country star Martina McBride. Deasy has also been featured on national television singing his own song, "Good Things Are Happening," in a national promo for ABC's Good Morning America program. "Chasing Down a Spark" was produced by Kevin Salem (Emmylou Harris, Freedy Johnston, Rachael Yamagata) and mixed by the legendary Joe Blaney (The Clash, Blues Traveler, The Raveonettes). The new CD features guest appearances by Maia Sharp, Rachael Yamagata, Donnie Iris and The Clarks' Rob James and Scott Blasey. | |||||||||
