Basic Bill Kaffenberger Music Description: The Byrds and Roger McGuinn meet born again Bob Dylan doing a jingle jangle folk rock Rickenbacker Electric 12 String dance with Van Morrison and Gene Clark, sometimes acoustic, sometimes electric, always fun.

Bill, now a resident of the Fredericksburg, VA area, was born in Washington DC and grew up in the Northern Virginia area. His musical influences range from classic artists like Bob Dylan, the Byrds, the Beach Boys and the Beatles to folk artists such as Leonard Cohen, Judy Collins, and Tom Rush as well as some things by more modern groups like System of a Down.

Bill has been singing and playing acoustic and electric folk rock for many years in coffeehouses, churches and other venues, primarily throughout the MidAtlantic region. He has performed both solo and as a group member. He uses a Taylor acoustic/electric 6 string, a Yamaha acoustic 12 string, and a Rickenbacker 370-12 Electric 12 string when he performs. His most unusual singing experience was performing folk music for a hall full of country music fans at the Crossed Timbers Country Opry, in Stephensville, Texas.

Bill has written and co-written over 100 songs and previously has released three albums of original material. His first official CD, THIS WORLD IS BOUND TO FALL, was released in early June of 2005 on the Amariah Recordings label and features that jingle-jangle electric Rickenbaker sound made popular by Roger McGuinn and the Byrds on such hits as MR. TAMBOURINE MAN and TURN TURN TURN. His second CD, JINGLE JANGLE MORNING, was issued in September of 2006 and features more great Rickenbacker-style folk rock tunes mixed with a number of acoustic efforts.

Bill's CD's are currently available online at CD Baby, Jam Recordings, Not Lame Recordings, Kool Kat Music, and in the UK at Heyday Mail Order.
