Bill Champlin was born in Oakland, California on May 21, 1947 to a musical family. His grandparents, mother and sisters have all been singers. Bill is married to Tamara Champlin, a singer/songwriter in her own right, and is the father of three children. His youngest, Will Champlin, is building a name for himself as a prolific and distinctive singer-songwriter.

Bill’s musical career began in 1961 when he formed a band called the Opposite Six. A year later he began writing music. After forming the Sons of Champlin in 1967, he focused his songwriting talents on material for the Sons. “They were breathing fire. They were the most talented of all the San Francisco bands”, said Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead. The Sons’ first album, “Loosen Up Naturally,” was released in 1969 and followed by six more albums before the Sons disbanded in 1977. Many of these have been re-released as CDs and are available for purchase.

After the breakup of the Sons, Bill moved to Los Angeles and worked as a session vocalist on numerous recordings from 1977 to 1985. The artists he worked with included Patti LaBelle, Lou Rawls, Elton John, Boz Scaggs, Donna Summer, Nancy Wilson, George Benson, Jimmy Smith, Amy Grant, Neil Diamond and Kenny Rogers. In 1978 he released his first solo album, “Single.” In 1979 he won his first Grammy award for co-writing “After the Love is Gone,” which was later recorded by Earth, Wind & Fire. During the Chicago/EWF tours in 2004 and 2005, Champlin was asked to perform this song with them, as lead singer.

The National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences awarded Bill The Most Valuable Player peer award for male background vocalists in 1980. The following year he won another Grammy for co-writing “Turn Your Love Around” for George Benson, and released his second solo album, “Runaway.”

In 1982 he joined Chicago to record “Chicago 16.” His unique and expressive voice can be heard on “Hard Habit to Break” from Chicago 17.

Bill’s 1988 recording of the song “In the Heat of the Night” was picked up as the show opener by the TV show of the same name. The following year Chicago released what turned out to be it’s biggest-selling single and their last No. 1 hit, “Look Away,” once again with Bill on lead vocal.

Bill released the critically acclaimed “No Wasted Moments” in 1990. That same year he was asked to perform two songs from “No Wasted Moments” at the Tokyo Music Festival and was presented with their Songwriter of the Year award.

Four more solo albums followed from Bill’s fertile mind: “Burn Down The Night” (1992), “Through It All” (1994), “He Started To Sing” (1995) and “Mayday” (1996). In July 1997 Chicago topped the adult contemporary chart with “Here in My Heart,” as the band once again turned to Bill for lead vocals. That same year also rendered the release of “West Coast All Stars,” an a cappella project he did with Jason Scheff of Chicago and Toto’s Bobby Kimball and Joseph Williams.

The Sons of Champlin reunited in 1997, with a loyal group of enthusiastic fans traveling great distances to see them perform. They recorded “Live At The Luther Burbank Center” in 1998, as well as “Secret” (CD and DVD) and “Hip Lil’ Dreams” in 2002.

Bill’s solo release “No Place Left To Fall” (CD and DVD), recorded at The Barber Shop Studios in Hopatcong, NJ for the Dream Makers Music label. It was first released by JVC Japan in September 2008, as well as being released for digital downloading, and later released in Europe by Zync Music in December. The U.S. release by Dream Makers came in August 2009.

On the heels of that US release and after 28 years with Chicago, Bill parted ways with the band to focus more on his solo career. “This music is callin’ me,” he said.

The two-time Grammy Award winner launched a successful West Coast tour in November 2009 with the Bill Champlin Band promoting “No Place Left To Fall.” That was followed by a Sons of Champlin tour in March 2010.

JOHN TOWNSEND

John Townsend is an Alabama-based blues and R&B singer and pianist who, as co-leader of the Sanford-Townsend Band, scored a Top Ten hit in 1976 with the song "Smoke from a Distant Fire." Influenced by classic soul and R&B artists like Otis Redding, Ray Charles, and Wilson Pickett, the Tuscaloosa native began playing in bands while still in high school, eventually forming a seven-piece group called the Rubber Band while attending the University of Alabama. Although their career wouldn't last long, their 1967 single "Let Love Come Between Us" would later become a hit for James & Bobby Purify. He assembled his next group, Heart (no relation to the successful '70s and '80s act of the same name), from the remains of a Montgomery-area band called the Rockin' Gibraltars, which featured keyboardist Ed Sanford. With Heart, Townsend relocated to Los Angeles, where the band scored a record deal, released a number of singles, and even did a tour opening for Jimi Hendrix. When that band eventually fizzled out, Townsend spent bounced around doing studio work and other odd jobs while trying to find a band that would stick.

The Road Leads Home He eventually found it in the early '70s when he ran into his old friend and former Heart member Ed Sanford. The two began writing songs together with the hope of scoring a publishing deal, which eventually came via Chappell Music. A record deal with Warner Bros. soon followed and the Sanford-Townsend Band headed back to their home state to record their debut album with producer Jerry Wexler at the legendary Muscle Shoals studios. Their single "Smoke from a Distant Fire" rose all the way to number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and, riding this momentum, the group spent the next several years touring the world alongside acts like Fleetwood Mac, the Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, and many others. When they eventually disbanded, Townsend found studio work doing jingles and co-writing with the likes of Kenny Loggins, Gregg Allman, and Larry Carlton. In the early '90s he joined the Gregg Allman Band for a spell, touring with them for several years before starting the Toler/Townsend Band with Allman Brothers guitarist Dan Toler and his brother David Toler. The group was together throughout the late '90s and 2000s, eventually releasing their eponymous album in 2008. Townsend also released his first solo album, The Road Leads Home, in 2003.

Bill Champlin was born in Oakland, California on May 21, 1947 to a musical family. His grandparents, mother and sisters have all been singers. Bill is married to Tamara Champlin, a singer/songwriter in her own right, and is the father of three children.

After the breakup of the Sons, Bill moved to Los Angeles and worked as a session vocalist on numerous recordings from 1977 to 1985. The artists he worked with included Patti LaBelle, Lou Rawls, Elton John, Boz Scaggs, Donna Summer, Nancy Wilson, George Benson, Jimmy Smith, Amy Grant, Neil Diamond and Kenny Rogers. In 1978 he released his first solo album, “Single.” In 1979 he won his first Grammy award for co-writing “After the Love is Gone,” which was later recorded by Earth, Wind & Fire. During the Chicago/EWF tours in 2004 and 2005, Champlin was asked to perform this song with them, as lead singer.

The National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences awarded Bill The Most Valuable Player peer award for male background vocalists in 1980. The following year he won another Grammy for co-writing “Turn Your Love Around” for George Benson, and released his second solo album, “Runaway.”

In 1982 he joined Chicago to record “Chicago 16.” His unique and expressive voice can be heard on “Hard Habit to Break” from Chicago 17.

Bill’s 1988 recording of the song “In the Heat of the Night” was picked up as the show opener by the TV show of the same name. The following year Chicago released what turned out to be it’s biggest-selling single and their last No. 1 hit, “Look Away,” once again with Bill on lead vocal.

Four more solo albums followed from Bill’s fertile mind: “Burn Down The Night” (1992), “Through It All” (1994), “He Started To Sing” (1995) and “Mayday” (1996). In July 1997 Chicago topped the adult contemporary chart with “Here in My Heart,” as the band once again turned to Bill for lead vocals. That same year also rendered the release of “West Coast All Stars,” an a cappella project he did with Jason Scheff of Chicago and Toto’s Bobby Kimball and Joseph Williams.

The Sons of Champlin reunited in 1997, with a loyal group of enthusiastic fans traveling great distances to see them perform. They recorded “Live At The Luther Burbank Center” in 1998, as well as “Secret” (CD and DVD) and “Hip Lil’ Dreams” in 2002.

JOHN TOWNSEND

John Townsend is an Alabama-based blues and R&B singer and pianist who, as co-leader of the Sanford-Townsend Band, scored a Top Ten hit in 1976 with the song "Smoke from a Distant Fire." Influenced by classic soul and R&B artists like Otis Redding, Ray Charles, and Wilson Pickett, the Tuscaloosa native began playing in bands while still in high school, eventually forming a seven-piece group called the Rubber Band while attending the University of Alabama. Although their career wouldn't last long, their 1967 single "Let Love Come Between Us" would later become a hit for James & Bobby Purify. He assembled his next group, Heart (no relation to the successful '70s and '80s act of the same name), from the remains of a Montgomery-area band called the Rockin' Gibraltars, which featured keyboardist Ed Sanford. With Heart, Townsend relocated to Los Angeles, where the band scored a record deal, released a number of singles, and even did a tour opening for Jimi Hendrix. When that band eventually fizzled out, Townsend spent bounced around doing studio work and other odd jobs while trying to find a band that would stick.

The Road Leads Home He eventually found it in the early '70s when he ran into his old friend and former Heart member Ed Sanford. The two began writing songs together with the hope of scoring a publishing deal, which eventually came via Chappell Music. A record deal with Warner Bros. soon followed and the Sanford-Townsend Band headed back to their home state to record their debut album with producer Jerry Wexler at the legendary Muscle Shoals studios. Their single "Smoke from a Distant Fire" rose all the way to number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and, riding this momentum, the group spent the next several years touring the world alongside acts like Fleetwood Mac, the Marshall Tucker Band, Charlie Daniels, and many others. When they eventually disbanded, Townsend found studio work doing jingles and co-writing with the likes of Kenny Loggins, Gregg Allman, and Larry Carlton. In the early '90s he joined the Gregg Allman Band for a spell, touring with them for several years before starting the Toler/Townsend Band with Allman Brothers guitarist Dan Toler and his brother David Toler. The group was together throughout the late '90s and 2000s, eventually releasing their eponymous album in 2008. Townsend also released his first solo album, The Road Leads Home, in 2003.

Born in Chicago Illinois, she began singing at the age of five joining her Dad, crooner Al Swanson on stage at several popular venues and churches in the area.

There, she opened for and performed with such legends as Etta James, Big Joe Turner, Taj Mahal and Canned Heat, all regulars at the club. These artists mentored Ryder, and it was then that her vision of herself as a singer, songwriter and performer began to take shape.

"Ryders musical mentors included such greats as Etta James, Taj Mahal and Big Joe Turner. Here, as tunesmith and vocal interpreter, she does those forebears proud, and stands tall alongside them." MATT R. LOHR - LIVING BLUES MAGAZINE

Ryder enjoyed a very successful professional career performing on numerous national television commercials, motion pictures, and Las Vegas musicals, and had a long run as a session artist in L.A. Her first record "Might Just Get Lucky", recorded and produced by Deb and husband, bassist Ric Ryder was released in 2014 on her label BEJEB RECORDS, and put her on the blues radar!
