[edit] Biography
Between 1967 and 1970 Botrell attended Crescenta Valley Senior High in La Crescenta, California, where he graduated in 1970 with a high school diploma. He attended the University of California, Santa Barbara between 1970 and 1972, where he studied for a Bachelor's Degree in Music.[1]
In the late 1980s Bottrell worked with several major recording artists including Madonna and Michael Jackson. In the early 1990s he formed his own recording studio and founded a musical "think tank" which he called the "Tuesday Night Music Club". One of the resulting acts was Sheryl Crow, whose 1993 debut album (produced by Bottrell) was entitled Tuesday Night Music Club. Her single "All I Wanna Do" from that album won a Grammy Award for Record of the Year for Bottrell and Crow.
Bottrell was nominated for another Grammy for his work on Shelby Lynne's 1999 breakout album I Am Shelby Lynne. He has also worked with many other artists, including Alisha's Attic, Thomas Dolby, Five For Fighting, Rosanne Cash, Lisa Germano, Kevin Gilbert, Jasun Martz, Linda Perry, Tom Petty, Rusted Root, Ben Jelen and Toy Matinee.
In 1999, Bill formed a group called The Stokemen as a joke. This group has become known around northern California for their cabaret-style shows.
