William "Bill" Dwyer was born on January 10th, 1973 to a middle class family in the Boston suburb of Medford, Massachusetts. He was very musical and artistic from an early age with an opportunistic charm, even serenading a neighborhood girl with a modified version of Crystal Gayle's "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue". Bill, 7 years old at the time, changed the lyric "Don't" to the girl's name "Donna" (who was 9). Bill has blue eyes. Bill's passion for music (and drumming in particular) lead him to start a band with some neighborhood kids. His family had decided to get their milk delivered for a change and a local business dropped off an aluminum box with a hinged lid on their front porch to receive the glass bottles of fresh milk. He was tapping on the lid and loved the snare drum-like sound it made. The company's name was on the front of the box and when kicked, the bottom made a nice bass drum sound. The band "West Lynn Creamery" had arrived. Bill would continue on with with drums, trumpet and eventually guitar by his early 20s. He was a drummer in Boston and NYC based bands from 1992-2010. He grew tired of the bands he was in breaking up because of differing opinions and realized he would have to start his own from scratch, switching from drums to fronting it on vocals and guitar with songs he exclusively wrote. "Bill Dwyer Band" was born and has been going steady ever since playing shows all over New England, NYC, SC, FLA and a two week, 10-date European Tour through Germany, Netherlands, France and England in 2016. Though not a Country Artist, his original song (and video) "South Caroline" got him nominated for 'Country Artist of the Year 2019' at The New England Music Awards. In addition to performing with his band he also plays dates as a solo acoustic artist. Bill Dwyer Band has a robust Youtube channel with pro shot studio videos and LIVE clips. Aside from his passion for music he loves film. Watching films is a favorite thing to do as well as working on ideas to create them. Bill has acted in some student pieces while in college but "A Little Human Spark" (2024) is his first time being the main character in a film of any length, in addition to casting, directing and producing it. The film is loosely based off of an experience Bill had in the music business in 2018. He emailed electronic press kits to all the big music labels in Nashville exploring the possibilities of their potential interest in his music. Some got back to him with polite responses but passed. The following week he was inundated with emails from B, C and D list "Nashville" record labels reaching out to talk. One label head asked to chat on a phone call instead of thru email. Bill obliged. The label owner told Bill that his label had heard his music and seen his videos and was "very, very.." interested in the possibility of signing him as a recording artist. He said before that step could happen the label wanted to know what "direction" Bill's music was going and would have to hear it for themselves. He asked "do you have any unfinished work, any unfinished songs you're working on we can take a listen to?" Bill said he had plenty, probably a whole full length album's worth. The record label "owner" then quickly said "great, I'm going to email you a Dropbox link and you can just drop your files in there and we can take a listen and get back to you" (Bill did NOT do that). Bill said he would but that was just to get off the phone. Another week passed and Bill received a cold call from the same record label "owner" and he said that his "label" hadn't received anything from him in the Dropbox yet. Instead of saying "are you still interested in working with us?" he said "when can we expect those?". Bill said he wasn't sending anything. The "owner" asked "why not?" and Bill said because its obviously not protected by copyright and its unfinished. The "owner" then got extremely defensive AND aggressive and Bill hung up and blocked him. Bill decided to make a short film about the experience and also play the character of the supposed record label owner. The short film "A Little Human Spark" was born. In addition to all of the above Bill loves basketball, muscle cars, many different types of cuisine and wines and is an avid photographer. His "Dead Phone Booths" and "Dead Umbrellas" photo series have shown in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Ipswich and Gloucester Massachuetts in various shows from 2007 until the present. His most important wish is world peace and love and harmony for ALL.
