This week, I want to introduce to you a gentleman whose been around since 1987 when he began his musical journey as lead guitarist for Pittsburgh’s legendary band Joe Grushecky and The Houserockers. Bill Toms left that group to become a solo artist and has released a number of albums with his band Hard Rain, the latest of which “Keep Movin’ On” will come out April 30 on Terraplane Records, though the first official single, “Everybody’s Talking,” will be dropped March 15. Having heard a prerelease copy of said CD, I knew I had to chat with Toms about his history, his music and how he’s made it through the pandemic so far. I called him at home in Pittsburgh on the 23rd of February.
