Open Door

Bill Scorzari is a singer-songwriter, recording artist, and performer based in New York. He has independently released four studio albums to date, including Just the Same (2014), Through These Waves (2017), Now I’m Free (2019), and The Crosswinds of Kansas (2022). His forthcoming 2025 release will consist of two new studio albums, respectively titled Sidereal Days (Day 1) and Sidereal Days (Day 2).

Bill’s discography includes guest performances by Chris Scruggs, Kim Richey, Joachim Cooder, Laur Joamets, Marie Lewey, Cindy Richardson Walker (a/k/a “The Shoals Sisters”), Jonah Tolchin, Neilson Hubbard, Eamon McLoughlin, Erin Rae, Will Kimbrough, Brent Burke, Matt Menefee, Kyle Tuttle, Michael Rinne, Danny Mitchell, and more.

His music has been premiered by Billboard, The Bluegrass Situation, Americana Highways, and others and has received critical acclaim from No Depression, Acoustic Guitar, Robert Christgau, Tom Hull, Americana UK, and many more as well. His albums have been included on “year-end-best-of” lists by Folk Alley, Making A Scene, Americana Highways, Americana UK and more. In 2024, Robert Christgau ranked Bill’s 2022 release, The Crosswinds of Kansas, at #40 on his “The Best 84 Albums of 2023 (or so)” list. 

Bill has charted on The Weekly Top 50 Alternative Folk chart—with a song at #4 and with an album at #8—and on The NACC Folk chart with an album at #15. His fourth release, The Crosswinds of Kansas placed at #71 on the Alt Country Specialty Chart 2022 year-end Top 100 and Through These Waves was #1 on the Americana Music Association’s “Most Added” Radio chart in the first week of its release in 2017. 

He also made a number of year end lists for radio, including reaching #1 in WXPN’s Saturday Sleepy Hollow host Chuck Elliot’s “Favorite Albums of 2022,” and in 2022 year-end lists by KVMR’s Good Stuff host Kim Rogers, WWSP’s Acoustic Revival’s host Jim Canales, WFPK’s Michael Young, and others. KPFA’s Tim Lynch also added Crosswind of Kansas to his ‘Favorite CDs of 2022,” saying, “The instrumentation and production are superb, while his weather-worn voice embodies the heartbreak and hope in the finely crafted lyrics.” 

While he has completed two coast-to-coast, solo-headline National tours to date, he has also opened for Billy Strings (The Riverwalk Cafe’, Nashua NH, 2017); Big Country (The Paramount Theater —a 1500-cap venue in Huntington, NY, 2014); and Whiskey Meyers (at the former “The Shop” in New York City, 2016). Other performances of note include AmericanaFest (2016), Newport Folk Festival (2019), in the “For Pete’s Sake” program curated by Chris Funk of The Decemberists, and more.

Another recent milestone is having Del McCoury cover “Treat Me Kind” from Bill’s 2019 Now I’m Free album. Del’s rendition is included on The Del McCoury Band’s album Songs of Love and Life (released June 2024).

Bill began recording his fifth release at his New York studio, First Thunder Recording, on July 2, 2022, and continued recording there for the following nearly two years, through June of 2024. In August of 2024, he brought the 20 original songs that he had recorded at First Thunder, to Skinny Elephant Recording in Nashville, where engineer Dylan Alldredge and a cast of 12 additional musicians completed the recordings with Bill and Neilson Hubbard co-producing. Later that year, Bill recorded a final track for the new release, back at First Thunder in New York. Engineer Nic Coolidge mixed the 21 tracks at Dead Pop Studios in Providence, RI, in early 2025, and engineer Hallie Melton completed the mastering in April of 2025, in Nashville, TN. The songs will be released on two albums - the first on October 17, 2025 and the second on September 25, 2026. 10 of the tracks are included on the first album, Sidereal Days (Day 1), and the remaining 11 tracks make up the second album, Sidereal Days (Day 2).
