Bill Eberle has never been the kind of artist who is afraid to go anywhere. Armed with folk songwriting chops far surpassing his years, Eberle pulls inspiration from sources both classical and wildly contemporary, and doesn't back away from lyrics reflecting on our troubled times. True to both his roots and the current moment, the songwriter combines profundity with infectious melodies, drawing the listener in deeper with every song. Now, Eberle announces his debut EP Ashes, available everywhere February 12th, 2016.

Ashes opens with "Matter & Time," a tale of a girl who speaks of the rapture, punctuated by country-fried guitar riffs and soul-shaking rhythm. Throughout the 5-track voyage, Eberle dips into blues, soul, rock , folk and country flavors, always remaining true to his personal sensibility, resulting in a remarkably compelling sound. The EP's title track is the most vulnerable moment, written around the time George Zimmerman was acquitted for the murder of Trayvon Martin. The track encouraged the rest of the Eberle's work to become what it did, including the rock-rattling crowd favorite "Crash On The Levee," the inspiring take on Bob Dylan's original.

Meanwhile, the impossibly catchy "Too Late To Take It Back" is a break-up tale for the ages and the first taste of the EP. Unleashed by Elmore, it's available HERE to post and share!

Born in Pittsburgh, PA to a union family, Bill Eberle spent time living in Brooklyn before relocating to Nashville three years ago. Setting out to create a folk record that both pays tribute to the folk tradition and keeps it moving forward, the songwriter is as influenced by Kendrick Lamar and Joanna Newsom as he is by Jimmie Rodgers and Bessie Smith. Made in Nashville, his full length Matter & Time was recorded with members of Nashville indie-pop legends EL EL and local hero Dave Coleman (The Coal Men) as engineer, and will be released spring 2016. Eberle will also hit the road in February, see BillEberleMusic.com for more!
