Bill Fulton on keys or piano with Touch n Go Band
Bill Fulton Touch N Go San Jose January 22 documents Bill Fulton performing on keyboards and piano with Touch N Go Band on January 22, 1987. The engagement took place at the Red Lion Inn, now the Doubletree by Hilton, at 2050 Gateway Place in San Jose, California.
This appearance was one of several consecutive performances by Touch N Go Band at the hotel. Fulton was working actively as a professional keyboardist during this period. At the same time, he continued developing the arranging and composing work that would become another major part of his career.
Touch N Go Band performance
The January 22 engagement was the third night in a five-date run documented at the same San Jose venue. Touch N Go Band performed there from January 20 through January 24, 1987. Therefore, this event falls directly in the middle of that series of performances.
Extended engagements gave musicians an opportunity to develop consistency as an ensemble. They also required versatility because live bands often performed a broad range of material. For a keyboard player, that could involve supporting vocals, filling out arrangements, and adapting to the needs of the ensemble.
A San Jose hotel engagement
The Red Lion Inn later became a Doubletree by Hilton property. The hotel is located near the San Jose airport. Information about the current hotel brand can be found at the official Hilton website.
Fulton’s professional performance history includes a wide variety of venues and musical situations. In addition to hotel engagements, he has performed in jazz clubs, concert venues, theaters, recording studios, and other settings. His work on piano and keyboards has also complemented his career in arranging, orchestration, and composition.
