Bill Staines’s wife is Karen Staines. Karen is the supportive spouse who was there for him in time of need.

The family lived in Rollinsford, New Hampshire, with their son, Bowen, a folk singer, just like his dad. They also stayed with his springer spaniel, Andy, who appeared on the cover of his album Old Dogs.

Bill’s memoir, The Tour: A Life Between the Lines, was published in 2004.

He was left-handed and played a right-handed upside-down guitar with the bass strings on the bottom. Thus he has perfected his fingerings and picking style.

His net worth is estimated to be approximately $1.5 Million. His earnings are attributed to his career as a singer-songwriter.
