After performing with several of the DC area's most popular groups since the late seventies, and currently as a member of Ruthie and Wranglers, Bill Starks has become recognized as a noted songwriter as well. The bluesy anthem "300 Miles From Memphis To New Orleans" won a WAMA song of the year award in 2011. "Repo Man", a honky-tonk lament about personal finances was featured on an NPR program on the economy. And Bill's debut solo CD "I See Trouble" , which featured both those tunes garnered a WAMA "Songwriter of the Year" Award. Bill has also collaborated with fellow writers Ruthie Logsdon and Greg Hardin on such tunes as "Ka-Ching" and "In the Tank", both of which were featured on the Wranglers' "Americana Express" album. Bill's most recent recording"Do You Hear Me Now" revisits some early up-tempo rockers, a reunion of original band-mates and pals, and harmony vocals from members of The Starks FamDamily. While hibernating during the 2020 pandemic, Bill has been tinkering with a handful of new song ideas, still in the works... Website: BillStarksmusic.com
