Last year, before Covid, his band, New Blues Revolution, played a sold-out New Years Eve 2020 with Los Lobos, and a sold-out performance at the inaugural Entertainment Series at the brand-new Honda Pacific Visions Theater at the Aquarium of the Pacific for the Blues & Jazz Concert Series.
Bill Grisolia Bio
Musician, Leader, Composer, Impresario
Bill's concert act, the New Blues Revolution, leads the vanguard of the new blues movement in the U.S. (think Black Keys, White Stripes, Joe Bonamassa and John Mayer). They play festivals, concerts and top night clubs in the US and internationally. In 2020, they sold out a NYE show with Los Lobos and the first-ever music concert at the new Aquarium of the Pacific concert hall (Bill co-produced the show).
This concert act opens for a diverse range of music legends including Los Lobos, Macy Gray, Leon Russell, Canned Heat, the Lowrider Band (War), the Tubes, Bobby Rush, Lee Rocker and the late Dick Dale. Awards include Best Americana Blues single at the LA Music Awards, Nominee for Group of the Year, LA Music Awards, a City of Long Beach Recognition Award and 2nd place at the Hollywood Talent Show for Bill’s song, “Rosarita”.
His festival appearances include the Red, White & Blues Festival, the New Blues Festival (3 cities), the Latin Jazz & Blues Festival, the Arab American Festival, Santa Clarita Blues Festival, Freedom Festival and the FC Festival at Irvine Lakes. Summer Concerts include Long Beach, Lakewood and the Alameda County Fair (SF Bay Area). High in demand, Bill is frequently asked to perform residencies including in the last year, the Renaissance Hotel, Roscoe’s (aka Cotton Club/Seabird Jazz Lounge), Supply & Demand and Roe Restaurant. A favorite of critics, the New Blues Revolution receives rave reviews from national trade magazines such as Cashbox and Music Connection. Critics recognize NBR’s exciting talent and extraordinary songwriting.
Bill was the only West Coast artist to appear in the Music Connection magazine feature article in the 2020 EOY issue. The LA Music Awards asked Bill to Host the Red-Carpet stage. Bill’s song “Heart of America” was added by Armed Forces Radio to play in 175 countries and selected by the American Red Cross Los Angeles Chapter for a video to be played at the Forum for a Wave radio station concert.
Bill’s live set features songs from the “Blue Café” CD, which features guest guitarist Michael Landau (Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Barbara Streisand) and pop vocalists Lowen and Navarro. The CD was produced by multi-platinum producer/arranger, Barry Fasman (Dianna Ross, Billy Joel, Air Supply) and mixed by John Thomas (Don Henley, Bruce Hornsby).
Bill has opened for a diverse range of music legends including Dionne Warwick, Burt Bacharach, Johnny Mathis, Blood Sweat & Tears, Three Dog Night, Starship, Rick Derringer, David Lindley, Tab Benoit, Michael Schenker and Katey Segal.
The band’s exciting live show makes for great TV. Television appearances include live satellite broadcasts from New York City to prime-time television in Spain. Broadcast performances in major U.S. television markets (UPN in Los Angeles) confirm the appeal of the band's music across the U.S. Los Angeles television appearances include KNBC, KCAL, KCOP and KMEX including the #1 morning show in the LA market.
Current discography includes 5 CD’s, 4 Cassettes and two 7” singles and he is at work on new recordings.
