Keyboardist for Touch N Go Band
Bill Fulton performed as the keyboard and piano player for this engagement. Working with a live band requires both preparation and flexibility. In addition to playing written or established arrangements, a keyboardist must listen closely to the rhythm section, vocalists, and other instrumentalists throughout a performance.
Fulton’s professional background includes a wide range of musical roles. Along with performing on keyboards and piano, he has worked as an arranger, composer, orchestrator, and producer. Consequently, his live appearances represent one part of a career encompassing performance, composition, arranging, and recording.
Red Lion Inn Engagement
The January 14 performance took place at the Red Lion Inn in San Jose. The property subsequently became associated with the DoubleTree by Hilton brand. Information about DoubleTree hotels is available at the official Hilton website.
Hotel engagements provided important performance opportunities for working musicians. In addition, an extended engagement allowed a band to perform together repeatedly rather than assembling for only a single evening.
