The guitar was perfectly suited for Bill because he could take it with him wherever he went.  Through high school he played concerts and events, as a solo acoustic guitarist and vocalist he often drew encores.   Bill headed to Boston after high school to attend Berkley College of Music  where he studied a variety of musical techniques.  After studying at Berklee Zucker grew restless, packed his guitar and headed west.  He settled in Breckenridge Colorado for a year or so before traveling on to Seattle Washington where he lived for three years and attended Western Washington College  in Bellingham, Washington.  Zucker hosted his own campus radio show, was the front man and the electric fiddler for a country-rock band “Colraine.”  Colraine toured across America to Bill’s home town and back.

From there Zucker ended up in Hollywood California, where he partnered up Ron Fair and together they wrote songs that were published by Paramount.  Bill landed a job at NBC where he was on the production staff of The Steve Allen Comedy Hour  and Barbara Mandrel Show,  while continuing to write and record his own music.

BZ put together his first professional touring band “Cruise Control” which later evolved into BZB “The Bill Zucker Band.”  BZB featured Zucker’s lead vocals, guitar playing, drum,  harmonica, fiddle, and keyboard/synthesizer abilities.  Throughout all of these years Bill was building a catalog of over 300 original songs. When one of Bill’s favorite local performing gigs in Chicopee, Massachusetts   went under Bill bought the night club and turned it into “Z Street.”  At Z Street he performed with Rick Derringer, Edgar Winter and The Tubes as well as numerous other bands, artists and musicians.

On the next part of Bill’s life tour, he ended up in Philadelphia where he was signed in 2000 to a record deal with Sonic Records, and recorded a twelve song CD entitled “Millennium.”  Critics praised Zucker’s song writing talent, vocal ability and guitar prowess on his first professional CD debut.  BZ’s favorite tunes off of Millennium include “Angel of Love,” “Hypnotized,” and “Fall In Love Again.”  But unfortunately, the record company folded before the project could come to fruition.  Millennium was never properly released, distributed or promoted and faded into the ether.  The album can still be found lingering around on the Internet in obscure locations, as well as Amazon and Ebay.

BZ traveled next to the tropical breezes of Miami Florida where he currently resides, and subsequently wrote and produced THE TARP SONG.  Bill recorded the song at Audacity Recording in Hollywood Flordia. The song “I Want Some Tarp” a powerful political parody song (popularly known as “THE TARP SONG”) has become an overnight Internet sensation, it’s YouTube Music Video drawing over ten thousand of views a day and hundreds of comments in the first weeks since it was posted.
