Biography
Bill Dillon was born in Toronto and was based in Grimsby, Ancaster and New Orleans before calling Hamilton home. A legendary guitarist, Bill has worked with the best, including Sarah McLachlan, Counting Crows, The Boomers, Edie Brickell, Chrissie Hynde, Robbie Robertson, Joni Mitchell, Daniel Lanois and Peter Gabriel. “What he does on guitar is what a synthesizer would do. He puts a shimmer in guitar. Sometimes it’s not even recognizable as a guitar,” states Bob Doidge of Grant Avenue Studio. “He’s probably one of the most instinctive musicians I know,” says Ian Thomas, “he has complete control of his instrument. He’s not content to play a part he might have heard. When Bill Dillon plays, he has his own sense of composition.”
