Bill Dempsey is a singer/songwriter and award-winning storyteller out of Stamford, CT. He has found inspiration in the music of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Otis Redding, REM and countless others. His songs are informed by the quiet days and restless nights spent growing up in the northeast hills of Connecticut , the 15 years he spent living in New York City, scattered travels and adventures abroad, the loss and heartbreak of divorce and the challenges and unmatched rewards of fatherhood.

Here you can find some of his music, watch live performance videos and see a listing of upcoming gigs, both solo and with his band Bill Dempsey + The Simple Math. You can also learn about the Nutmeg Original Music Series - a celebration of local songwriters that Bill curates alongside friend, fellow songwriter and Nutmeg co-founder Erik Moses.
