Product DescriptionWhen was the last time a song really made you reflect on your life, your hopes, your dreams ?
BILL PERE is an award winning songwriter, performer and recording artist, known for lyrics that tell unforgettable tales of ordinary people who weave the tapestry of human experience. Bill's songs can stand alone as a musical experience, but there is always the important and subtle underlying message of social conscience that makes them touch you even more deeply.
In Dare to Dream, Bill's 15th release, 30 songs intertwine to create a panoramic look at life through dreams -- dreams that we have when we sleep, and dreams which are our hopes and aspirations. Many views of life, from pre-birth to post death, and all stages in between, are explored.
Bill's lyrical artistry is evident, well supported by his intricate and powerful music arrangements, and the many guest vocalists who appear to help weave the tales. Bill's signature guitar versatility is well represented by a variety of acoustic, electric, and Midi styles, backed by full band accompaniment. The soaring lead vocal by Kay Pere on "When I Sing" is especially memorable. Also featured is the poignant tribute written by Bill, "Alizarin Crimson" and "Flickers", portraying his Father's descent into the twilight world of Alzheimer's disease. This collection also features the debut of some great new vocalists: Kayla Bogan, Jaclyn Sabogal, Nicole Foley, and Melody Pere, along with feature performances by award-winners Kay Pere and Denise Lavasseur.
