Welcome aboard.  Glad you dropped past to say hi...

My music and poetry is built on a blend of the very serious, the extremely ridiculous and ...  sarcasm.  Most pieces contain 2 or 3 stories.  Reviews over the years show my stuff has been described as containing the colors of Australia’s John Williamson, Paul Kelly and Eric Bogle.. though I don't pretend to be in their league... One reviewer rated “I got A Right to Sing the Blues” up there with Van Morrison’s raw edged and earthy soul searching best.

l have a number of awards to my credit and spent many years playing around Oz.  At one point I hosted the longest running musician's night in the country...  20 years.. almost every Wednesday.   I've done TV and Radio, played at festivals and run a couple..   But it's ambulance work and teaching in one form or another that has paid the bills.

This excerpt from Tommy Emmanuel’s mgr of 10 years

The world is full of guitarists, singers, poets and raconteurs… many who label themselves ‘entertainers’. But rarely do I come across an artist who can truly claim to be just that… a real (in this case meaning honest) entertainer. In fact to just listen to a CD or tape by Bill Dettmer means you only get part of the picture. I had to sit in an audience at a Bill Dettmer concert to fully appreciate his talent.

Drawing from a rich tapestry of experiences, Bill somehow manages to pull them together and present commentaries on life in a way in which I believe, everyone can truly relate and empathize. Whether it is tragic or funny, an everyday occurrence or something really special, Bill has the gift of recreating the moment and sharing it with his audience. Everyone should experience a night with Bill Dettmer...... Ron Leigh
