Bill Fulton on keys or piano with Touch n Go Band
Bill Fulton Touch N Go Band January 7 covers Bill Fulton’s January 7, 1987 performance with Touch N Go Band at the Red Lion Inn in San Jose, California. Fulton performed on keyboards and piano as part of a multi-night engagement by the band.
Live engagements have been an important component of Fulton’s professional music career. In addition to performing, he has worked extensively as an arranger, composer, orchestrator, producer, and recording musician. Therefore, his performance history complements the creative and production work represented throughout Bill Fulton Music.
A multi-night San Jose engagement
The January 7 performance was one of several Touch N Go Band appearances at the same San Jose location. Consecutive performance dates were common for professional working bands during this period. Moreover, these engagements gave musicians an opportunity to refine the ensemble while performing for new audiences each night.
The venue was located at 2050 Gateway Place in San Jose. The hotel later became associated with DoubleTree by Hilton. Visitors can learn more about the brand through the official DoubleTree by Hilton website.
Bill Fulton as pianist and keyboardist
Fulton’s keyboard work has taken him into many professional musical settings over the course of his career. Each performance required musical versatility, ensemble awareness, and the ability to support the other musicians. Meanwhile, his arranging and composing experience provided an additional perspective on the structure and function of an ensemble.

Documenting a professional career
The January 7 appearance helps preserve the history of Fulton’s professional performance work. Rather than documenting only major concerts and recording projects, the archive also records the regular engagements that make up the career of a working musician.
The Bill Fulton Touch N Go Band January 7 performance therefore adds another documented date to that history. Together with the surrounding San Jose performances, it provides a record of Fulton’s work as a professional pianist and keyboardist.
