FireHouse is Bill Leverty, CJ Snare, Michael Foster and Allen McKenzie. My side projects are for recording only. It would be selfish for me to tell the other guys in FireHouse to go figure out a way to make a living while I go out and tour on my own. I would love it if you’d check out my side projects here: www.leverty.com

Some of my influences are Stevie Wonder, Simon & Garfunkel, Led Zep, Carlos Montoya, Rare Earth, Peter Frampton, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Kiss, Michael Schenker, UFO, Doobie Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Outlaws, Allman Brothers, Steve Morse and the Dixie Dregs, Pat Travers, Eddie Van Halen, Al Dimeola, Allan Holdsworth, Scorpions, Randy Rhodes, Warren DeMartini and Ratt, George Lynch, Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Carlos Santana, Neal Schon, and (my favorite guitarist of all time) Jeff Beck.
Sounds Like
People say that my solo work sounds like FireHouse meets classic, soulful, melodic hard rock with a Southern vibe...
My latest solo album is available now, and I'm always working on something new. Please stay tuned, and join my mailing list at www.leverty.com. I don't share any email addresses with anyone because I hate spam as much as you do!
Thanks for adding me Bill. I was fortunate to have opened up for Firehouse in Bradenton at OuterLimits for Memorial Day Rock Fest May 1999 with my band The Bushhounds. That was a great show you guys put on. We even got a group shot with you guys too. I still have a couple of the pics if you want me to send them to ya. From St. Pete, Peace....
