We say:

Bill Hickman has been making music in Wellington for over a decade and in 2010 released his debut EP ‘Ghost Of Smoke’. Self-described as “folkie with a chip on his shoulder”, Hickman’s alt-country songs with attitude move from heartrending to badass with ease, utilising warm, smoke-infused vocals and soulful acoustic guitar.

Hickman has opened for renown country artist Gillian Welch at all three of her sold-out shows in Wellington and was a member of ‘The Shot Band’, ‘The Hobnail Boots’ and covers mainstays ‘King Lazy’, having formerly fronted high energy rock bands like ‘Fat Mannequin’ and ‘Speedo’.
