Bill Stevenson (born 1947 in Ottawa, Ontario) is an award-winning Canadian blues and jazz pianist, vocalist and songwriter, originally associated with the band Earth Opera, whose career in music has spanned over forty years.
==Biography==
Stevenson commenced his music career in Ottawa, Ontario, where he spent his childhood and adolescence. While still in his teens, he joined the band Earth Opera, originally based in Boston. Stevenson left the band in 1968, after the release of their first album. During Stevenson's time with Earth Opera, the band frequently opened for The Doors, being fellow recording artists on Elektra Records, as well as having Jac Holzman as producer.〔See Earth Opera. Holzman, in his capacity as the founder of Elektra Records (see Jac Holzman), had signed both The Doors and Earth Opera.〕
After leaving Earth Opera, Stevenson returned to Ottawa, where he continued to play locally for a number of years. One of his associations was as an early member of Heaven's Radio,〔(Terry Gillespie, Brother of The Blues, in Halifax ). News Release, May 25, 2007; www.terrygillespie.ca. Stevenson played with Gillespie at Gillespie's Halifax performance.〕 considered to be one of the best bands to come out of Ottawa in the 1970s.〔Uncredited, (Get ready for a taste of Heaven: Classic '70s band reunites for concert this weekend ). Ottawa Citizen, May 17, 2007. Heaven's Radio, formed by singer Terry Gillespie, performed primarily in the 1970s and 1980s, releasing two albums: ''Active'' and ''Uptown Babies''. Both albums were reissued on CD in 2007, involving a promotional reunion concert at which Stevenson performed. Both Stevenson and Gillespie are contemporaries of William Hawkins and contributed to the Hawkins tribute album, ''Dancing Alone: Songs of William Hawkins'' (2008).〕 As of the mid-1970s, Stevenson relocated to Halifax, Nova Scotia, from which his career has been based since. During his career, Stevenson has worked with many notable artists, including John Lee Hooker, Amos Garrett〔 and Tom Rush.
Stevenson is the 2008 winner of the East Coast Music Award for Jazz Album of The Year.〔(Biography of Bill Stevenson ); www.billstevensonmusic.ca〕 With Tom Easley and Geoff Arsenault, he is also a 2009 East Coast Music Award nominee for Blues Album of The Year.〔(ECMA Nomination ); "News", December 4, 2009; www.billstevensonmusic.ca.〕
