Bill Ryder-Jones will release Yawny Yawn on July 26th; today he is pleased to share a second track from the record, “And Then There’s You”. Yawny Yawn acts as an accompaniment to 2018’s Yawn and finds Bill stripping back his songs to piano and vocals only, opening an even more intimate window onto his world.
Multi-instrumentalist, producer, string-arranger and composer Bill Ryder-Jones has had a career spanning 15 years, a rarity in a world that so often looks to the new. From his musical interpretation of Italo Calvino’s ‘If On A Winters Night A Traveller’ ( If… in 2011), 2013’s A Bad Wind Blows In My Heart, West Kirby County Primary (2015) and last year’s Yawn, Bill has constantly widened his scope, weaving in an overarching sense of authenticity, intimacy and wryness as he goes.
Having just returned from Glastonbury, Bill will play a string of festivals this summer including Green Man, before embarking on a special piano tour in September. After selling out his London show in 24 hours, a second date has been added alongside dates in Cambridge and Glasgow.
