About âYour Heart Knowsâ

Bill Mannâs CD, âYour Heart Knowsâ, features 10 thoughtful, well-crafted songs written by a journeyman singer-songwriter with a passion for songwriting. From the lively country rocker, âGive A Little Loveâ to the hauntingly beautiful âTo All The Broken Shellsâ, Bill takes the listener on a true journey of the heart, traveling on the rhythms of country, light rock, contemporary folk, reggae and light jazz.

Briefly Biographical

Bill draws on a wide variety of musical influences to express what is important to him: love, spiritual growth, relationships, hope, friendship and laughter, among others.

He likes to laugh and has a light-hearted approach to life that is reflected on stage. âMy songs touch a wide range of emotions, so my audience may laugh in one song and shed a tear in the next. But the negative is not my calling. Thereâs enough anger and fear in the world without me stirring things up. Iâd rather sing a song that opens the heart.

Bill has performed in clubs, colleges, festivals, private concerts and seminars for several decades. Along the way, he has entertained audiences across the 48 states and Canada, as well as in Alaska, Europe, Australia and even Africa, and has opened for John Sebastian, Robert Cray, Nick Lowe and Delbert McClinton, among others. He has appeared at Nashvilleâs Bluebird Café, Amsterdamâs Paradiso Night Club and Seattleâs Northwest Folklife Festival, as well as performed live on radio stations from Kodiak, Alaska to Tampa, Florida.

He is currently working on a double CD, âHeart and Soulâ, to be released later this year.

âBill Mann's new album is fantastic. I'm a video producer with GE Capital Assurance and very familiar with music, art, etc. His album breaks new ground with not only creativity, but also fun and upliftment. This is the one CD I reach for when I want to listen to music while doing intense 3d animation work.â

âBill, a great, great job! The production is excellent, the sound crisp and clear, and the arrangements are first rate and very tight and tasty. Nothing is wasted, and it leaves the listener wanting more. This new, present Bill Mann is confident, very professional, concise, and also has written some great new tunes. I was impressed with your vocals throughout the album. Your singing is very expressive and warm. A note about âTo All the Broken Shellsâ â This song touches me square in the heart. Itâs as delicate as a feather, yet as stirring as a symphony. You couldnât have chosen a better ending for your album.â
