Bill Price is a singer-songwriter based in Indianapolis, Indiana. While Price sees songwriting, recording and performing as all having importance, he admits that the idea of creating something original is what drives him forward.
Price says he was always drawn to the songwriting aspect of music. “I don’t know if it was the realization that I was always going to be just an average guitar player or the fact that I always have an opinion that got me headed in the songwriting direction, but for whatever reason, I just got that fire. I was inspired by certain music to try and do a similar thing, but as I’ve gotten older, what inspires me just as much are non-musical ideas and experiences.” Price continues, “I’m just fascinated with the entire creative process—the inspiration, writing, arranging, recording and performing of songs and how that process is connected to life itself.” Price says that he’s always tried to evolve. “I think trying new things is critical for any type of artist in order to continue to grow.”
Price has released five full-length albums, three EPs and two CD singles to date, with several more projects in the works. His most ambitious project is I Can’t Stop Looking at the Sky, which, in addition to two full-length albums, includes a personal journal and a book of short stories, poems and essays. All are housed in an elaborate package designed by Price, who is also a graphic designer.
Beggars Belief recorded with his side project band The Brains Behind Pa, is his most recent release. Bill Price releases have been met with positive reviews, especially in Europe. His music has also received airplay in Europe in addition to U.S. college and independent radio.
In 2010 Price began to expand his performing area beyond his native Indiana, playing regional shows around the Midwest. He has toured the American Northwest seven times as well as playing a few shows in Canada. He performs in solo, duo and trio formats as well as with a full band for intimate house concerts or outdoor festivals alike.

Mississippi Heat stands as one of the longest running bands in Chicago, as well as a launching pad for many blues players who’ve gone on to successful solo careers. MH’s alumni reads like a Who’s Who of Chicago Blues past and present: Billy Flynn, Lurrie Bell, Carl Weathersby, Kenny “Beedy Eyes” Smith, Deitra Farr, Bob Stroger, Calvin “Fuzz” Jones, James Wheeler, Barrelhouse Chuck, Jon McDonald, Robert Covington, Bob Carter and more.

Mississippi Heat’s personnel may have changed over the decades, but the heart and soul of the music remains with Pierre Lacocque, who directs the band with his highly creative, virtuosic harmonica skills, stellar songwriting and artistic vision. MH embodies the traditional Chicago blues ensemble style, but Lacocque sometimes adds in some zydeco, world beats, Latin and jazz for spice; it’s not surprising since the Israeli-born native (of Christian parents from Belgium) has lived in and traveled to many different countries.

After playing harmonica in various blues bands in both Chicago and Canada (where he attended college) Lacocque formed his own band in 1991 (along with Jon McDonald, Bob Stroger and Robert Covington). Since then, Mississippi Heat has become an internationally acclaimed, beloved band that always features Chicago’s top talent playing original music. MH has performed all over the world, including the U.S., Canada, Europe, Mexico, South America and Northern Africa.

universities. His popularity with the collage crowds helped him
discover his love of being in front of an audience. Influenced by
the sounds of such bands as the Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker,
and the Eagles, Curtis fine-tuned his own sound to create an
authentic country rock play-list. As a finalist on "You can be a
Star", in the 1980's, hosted by Jim Ed Brown and Gerry House,
Curtis performed for judges Jim Fogelsong, Buddy Killen and
Mickey Gilley. Following his success on that show he was joined
the Cinder Road Band. While touring Curtis continued to hone his
skills as a true crowd pleaser using his rich full vocals and playful
stage presence. Included in the long list of concert venues in
which he has performed, Curtis is proud to have graced the iconic
Grand 'ol Opry stage. Having spent the last several years raising
his family in Middle Tennessee, Curtis now finds himself single
and ready to get back to what he is all about....his music.

was signed with United Artist. They fronted entertainers such as
Tanya Tucker, Ray Stevens and Jim Nabors at state fairs around
the country. Returning to Nashville, he played with Clifford Curry

road, he came back to town and played local hot spots with
"Wholly Smoke". Randy has also jammed with such artists as
Gregg Allman, Dicky Betts and Freddie King. Having cut his teeth
on Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn, Randy's searing style and
intense stage presents is riveting. Before playing with Russell &
Hop he played around town as a founding member of 3rd Degree,
a power trio that produced three cd's. All three cd's sold
successfully in the local market. Randy has worked for Gibson
Guitar for several years.
Russell & Hop knew from the start that they had something
special. Writing together was comfortable and easy. The pieces
started falling into place for this duo. Audiences made it clear that
they wanted more of Russell and Hop.
