Bill Fulton on keys or piano with Touch n Go Band
The Touch N Go Portland June 30 1986 performance featured Bill Fulton on keyboards and piano with Touch N Go Band at the University Place Hotel & Conference Center. This Portland appearance began another documented stretch of performances by Fulton with the group.
By this stage of his professional career, Fulton had already developed extensive experience as a working keyboardist. Live performances provided a setting in which piano technique, keyboard sounds, accompaniment, rhythm, and ensemble interaction all had to function together in real time.

Bill Fulton on piano and keyboards
A keyboardist in a working band may be responsible for many layers of the arrangement. Piano supplies harmony, rhythmic support, fills, and solos. Additional keyboards can provide contrasting colors and expand the sound of the ensemble. Those responsibilities require both musical preparation and the flexibility to respond to other musicians during a live performance.
The Touch N Go Portland June 30 1986 appearance documents this part of Fulton’s career as a performing musician. His professional work would continue across live performance, arranging, composition, orchestration, studio recording, music production, and music for visual media.
