Bill Bulinski's long career has brought him full-circle...from an artist on Columbia Records through noted accomplishments as a blues, surf and pop guitarist, to gracing Spiritwood Music's roster of artists and performing on many spiritwood Music projects with his brilliantly diverse guitar stylings.
Born in Chicago, Bill Bulinski fell in love with the guitar at an early age and finally was given a Silvertone by his parents at age 11; he never looked back. When his family moved to Ely, Bill started a band called The Electras; starting out as a mostly instrumental outfit, the group scored some regional hits and was signed by Columbia Records. Moving back to Chicago allowed Bill to play full time, including starting a band called The Greaseballs to perform his retro-sounding tunes. But though he was busy writing hundreds of songs, the call of the Northwoods was strong, and so Bill returned to Ely and became a Boundary Water Boy and member of the Spiritwood Music Northwoods Ensemble. His signature surf/blues guitar style adds depth and an interesting patina to Acoustic Crossroads, and his distinctive classical style graces many other Spiritwood CDs (including the Spiritwood Music Cabin CD Series).
Bill Bulinski is a former member of sixties' Minnesota maulers, the Electras, who are renowned for their classic garage sides (but who started out, pre-Beatles, as an all-instrumental combo, and a current member and founder of The Greaseballs, the premier surf band in the US today.
