Bill Collins puts on an energetic acoustic show. Drawing from influences that include Rockabilly, Country, Punk, Blues and Irish music, the singer-guitarist is on a mission to prove to the world that performing acoustically doesn’t have to mean playing gently and singing softly while remaining seated, preferring instead to stand, shout and stomp, an attitude that sets him apart from many solo performers.

If one were to describe Bill Collins’ more than twenty-five years’ musical career, the labels Roots-Rock or Punk would almost always fit.

"Bill Collins, performing as the lead of The Rabble Rousers, has written some of the best new worker songs that have emerged in decades. And best of all, like Billy Bragg he produces songs that stand on their own as great music, and will energize people whether they are walking a picket line or heading off to work."
