Headband — Shirley Ladd & Bill Trochim
This is our music page — where we'll post the latest recordings as they come out of the studio, keep an archive of earlier versions for comparison, and eventually share finished tracks when the album is done. Think of it as a living document of songs in progress. Pull up a chair and have a listen.
Headband — Debut Album — Released July 1, 2026

We dedicate this album in loving memory of Chuck Guttman — who brought us together, kept us together, and was there for every note, every laugh, and every moonlit ride home across the lake; Shirley's husband, Bill and Gwenn's dearest friend, and the heart of everything we did together. His memory will always live on in our music.

Bill Trochim, guitar, vocals and orchestrations
