Everyone loves a good story about second-chances, and that\u2019s exactly what Bill Abernathy\u2019s story is all about. The Kansas City, Missouri resident began writing songs in his early teens. He played all through his school years, but then he stopped...Life took over. Bill went about getting married, building a business career, and raising his children. After his kids graduated from school and started their careers, Bill picked up the guitar again and began trying to rekindle his love of music. \u201cInspiration for my music comes from a variety of the many parts of my life,\u201d Bill says. \u201cEvents and experiences of mine, my family, my friends, and sometimes even people I have never met all, contribute to the creativity of my music. I find it interesting and rewarding to let my imagination wander through the memory and spirit of life events and see where it takes me.\u201d Bill is a pure "lyrics-first" writer...a bit of a storyteller. \u201cI feel the story and lyrics talk to me and tell me what the rest of the song is supposed to sound like,\u201d he says. His last album, 2017\u2019s \u201cFind A Way\u201d reached #5 on the Roots Music Report Traditional Folk Album chart, and the single, \u201cGoodbye Will Never Come Again\u201d reached #1 on the singles chart. Bill\u2019s last collection of songs, the Roots Music Report Americana chart-topping album, \u201cCrossing Willow Creek\u201d is available now. The first single, \u201cCry Wolf\u201d reached the iTunes Top 100 Rock Songs chart, while hitting the Top 5 on New Music Weekly\u2019s country chart. The next two singles also received national and international charting. Bill was also a December 2018 Billboard Magazine Emerging Artist. He recently toured the mid-west on his \u201cLiving The Dream\u201d solo tour. \u201cSometimes life is good to you and gives you a second chance. In my youth I walked away from music for a myriad of personal reasons. Now, I've now been given a second chance to pursue this thing we love called music, and I am really enjoying the ride!\u201d Bill\u2019s brand new single, \u201cA Thousand Wild Horses\u201d from a forthcoming EP, was released in June 2021 and reached #1 on the South African ITunes Country Songs chart! https://www.billabernathy.com/crossin... https://www.facebook.com/billabernath... https://twitter.com/bill_abernathy\n\n\n\nMusic in this video\nLearn more\nListen ad-free with YouTube Premium\nSong\nMore Than Meets the Eye\nArtist\nBill Abernathy\nAlbum\nMore Than Meets the Eye\nLicensed to YouTube by\nCD Baby (on behalf of Enneagram Records); CD Baby Pro (Publishing), and 1 Music Rights Societies\n\nSHOW LESS
