Bluegrass is basicaly hillbilly string band music with harmony vocals and elements of blues and folk.It originates from the Appalachian Mountains in the deep American south. From the "Blue moon of Kentuky" to "Duelling Banjos" this distinctive music has retained its appeal right through the succeding generations of Country artists.

Bill Zorn



The newest member of The Limeliters, Bill Zorn brings two crucial elements to The Limeliters: he possesses that obligatory Limeliter sense of comedy, and his voice unmistakably contributes to retaining that magical trademark Limeliters sound! He is an accomplished musician on the banjo and guitar with a tremendous voice range - bass to second tenor. He studied music and drama at Arizona State University, and joined The New Christy Minstrels in 1970 as their musical director. After four years he switched groups to become a member of The Kingston Trio. After three more years on the road, he decided to take a break and joined his brother in England in 1977. While there he recorded a hit single with his brother called "Car '67" and also had his share of television acting, voice-over work, and comedy, gained by teaming up with British comedian Jon Benns to form the successful duo "Bill and Benns." In 1995, while still in England, Bill produced a Glenn Yarbrough album called Chantyman.

Bill also performs with another band, The Arizona Smoke Revue, which performs for some of the big summertime festivals. "We all play in other bands, so we bring a very diverse mix of music to the table." The Arizona Smoke Revue can be heard on a double CD album, A Thundering on the Horizon, recorded in the early 1980s by the group. It's a staggering mixture of folk, bluegrass, rock, jazz, and just about everything else in between.
