Bill Horn
Bill’s earliest musical influence was being a member of All Saints Episcopal Boys Choir from ages 11 to 13.
Led by world renowned Choirmaster/Organist Jack Nobel White, they studied at the Royal School of Church Music in Berkley and while on tour, performed at Disneyland, Air Force Academy, and Grace Cathedral in San Francisco ’63, providing Bill with invaluable voice and ear training.
Bill turned professional in 1974 with a group from Texas called Cahoots.
During the ten years together, Cahoots played gigs from Hawaii to New York City and the five-state area around Texas until relocating to Malibu, California.

There he learned studio engineering and did session work on guitar and vocals for his band and other studio clients including Daniel Moore
(My Maria, Shambala), who took Bill under his wing and taught him studio production.
From 1980 till the present, Bill has been a full time musician playing Country, Rock, Oldies, Cajun/Zydeco and casuals.
His band spent three years as the House Band for the Disneyland Hotel’s “Neon Cactus” and performed for local and international crowds.
His country band, “Fort Worth West” released their debut CD on DJM Records and can be found on the Internet and record stores nationally.
They continue to work for Disney on a part time basis, and their calendar stays full doing corporate and civic events through agents and contacts of their own.
As of July 2000, Fort Worth West has been awarded the 1999 European Country Music Association’s
BAND OF THE YEAR.

In 2006 and new and challenging opportunity came Bill’s way.
He was invited to play the “Dickie Betts” role in a stunning new tribute band celebrating the music of the Allman Brothers called “Southbound”.
Since then, he has polished his performance while headlining at the Riverside Casino in Laughlin,
Nevada. His amazing rendition of
Little Martha can be
heard on You Tube as well as other cuts from Southbound’s many concert appearances.
Now in 2010, Bill’s returning to the music that inspired him in his youth.
Beatles!

After being a sub for the Los Angeles based “Sgt Pepper” tribute band, he’s now been officially made a full member and he loves it!
“The music is so fun and full of energy,” Bill says, “that people just go crazy when they hear us.
I can’t wait until our next gig!”
