Billy Walsh is an award winning singer-songwriter from central Massachusetts who has performed throughout New England for over twenty years. The Worcester Magazine writes that Widdershins contains “…ten tunes superbly crafted, supported by a seasoned bunch of hotshots.” The Jamaica Plain Arts News says, "Walsh lives a full, rich life and shares it with style and grace through his art." New England folk star Chuck Demers (from the duo Chuck and Mudd) adds that he is “an incredible voice and songwriter – this fellow would be special coming out of Nashville, but he lives nearby.”
