Bill Mullen

The 2020 Samhain Celtic New Year Festival is excited to welcome Bill Mullen! (Be sure to check our website for our Live via Zoom Whisky Tasting event on Oct. 24, 2020)

Born and raised in Dundee, Scotland, Bill Mullen was surrounded by Scottish and Irish people, songs and culture. Bill’s musician launch came on Scottish Hogmanay (New Year’s Eve) when he was eleven and performed for the first time, to his parent’s surprise. By age 16, he was performing concerts on his own.

Bill’s professional music life really launched in Oregon in 2008 when he was invited to sing at a local pub in Lake Oswego.  The crowd loved it, and so did he.  He left his career in the business world to play music full time in 2013.  Since then he has travelled throughout the United States and Canada performing concerts in a wide variety of venues.

Bill has two CD’s, The Beginning, which has both Irish and Scottish songs, and Mullen It Over, which is filled with his own compositions.
