Bill Callahan: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Bill Callahan

Bill Callahan is an American singer-songwriter who first emerged through spare, home-recorded releases made on four-track equipment, later expanding his sound without leaving behind its plainspoken edge. He is also known for work under the name Smog and has long released records through Drag City. His music sits at the crossroads of rock and alt-country, built around baritone vocals and uncluttered arrangements. In New York City, he brings that restrained approach to settings like Rough Trade NYC, where performance and record signing share the bill.
