Bill Rotella, a singer-songwriter from Ventura County, California, recently released ‘Do Me Good’, the first single from his 15th album ‘Home’ (Release date 9/1/22). ‘Home’ is a collection of 10 songs that feature some of Bill Rotella’s, aka ‘Smoke’, most diverse songwriting.

Bill Rotella didn’t have to go far to find his musical inspiration. He was exposed to exceptional musical talent within his own family. Hearing his father’s songs sung by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and his dad’s saxophone and woodwinds on Steely Dan and Frank Zappa albums, listening to his Uncle’s famous arrangements for the Glenn Miller Band, hearing his mother’s classical piano and his sister’s flute in concerts and films, he was being fed a steady diet of great music from great musicians. He was inspired. But it would be a few years before he began to write or perform. He first played drums but it didn’t allow him to write and sing the music he was beginning to hear. It wasn’t until college, when Bill put down the drumsticks and picked up a guitar, that he began writing his own music. Now, 4 bands and 14 albums later, Bill Rotella’s 15th album, ‘Home’ will be released this Fall.
