Bill Fulton performing with Touch N Go Band
Fulton worked extensively as a professional keyboardist while also developing his career as an arranger and composer. Live engagements offered a different musical environment from studio and writing work. They required musicians to respond immediately to the ensemble, the material, and the audience.
Keyboard and piano parts can play several roles in a working band. Depending on the music, they may provide harmonic support, rhythmic figures, accompaniment, or featured solos. Consequently, performing regularly with an ensemble can demand both versatility and consistency.
January 1987 San Jose engagement
The Red Lion Inn provided the setting for this January 20 performance. The hotel later became a Doubletree by Hilton property near the San Jose airport. Information about the current hotel brand is available through the official Hilton website.
The engagement represents one part of Fulton’s extensive history as a working musician. His performances over the years have included bands, jazz ensembles, theatrical productions, recording sessions, concerts, and private engagements. In addition, his work away from the stage has included arranging, orchestration, composition, and music production.
