The Bio
A soulful singer songwriter, Billy is as comfortable entertaining a crowd with just his voice and acoustic guitar as he is with a full band behind him. He uses humor and wit to communicate to his audiences, keeping them fully engaged during his performances. In his music, you can hear the influences of such diverse artists as John Mayer, Otis Redding, James Taylor, Mat Kearney, Ben Harper, Van Morrison, Dave Matthews, Sam Cooke, Bill Withers, and Ray Lamontagne, to name a few.
Billy Buchanan, a St. Augustine, Florida resident, describes his music as a blend of “concrete and dirt". He explains, “I was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, but my family was originally from Georgia, and brought a lot of that culture with them. I would hear pop, hip-hop, and dance music on the street; but at home, and at my grandparents' houses, I would hear soul, gospel, and country. It all rubbed off on me".
A consummate professional, Billy has shared the stage with some amazing artists; including, Shawn Mullins, David Ryan Harris (John Mayer’s guitarist), KC and The Sunshine Band, G. Love and Special Sauce, Funky Meters, Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland), and Morris Day and The Time, to name a few. Billy’s latest album, Hold On, is available at many digital music retailers. The songs “Brother Where You Going”, “Sleep Baby Sleep”, and “Hold On” are standout tracks.

Reviews
"Combining everything from pop, to hip-hop, to soul, to gospel, to country music, Billy uses all of it in his acoustic brand of indie rock. You can always tell when someone has the music in them. It doesn’t feel forced and it flows out naturally like a breeze. Billy Buchanan’s music is that breeze; you can feel it with every lyric that comes out of his mouth. Billy is the real deal, and I’m surprised he hasn’t broken into the next level yet." - I Want A Buzz Magazine
“Buchanan's soulful and powerful voice is framed by inspirational music.” – The Phantom Tollbooth
“What works so well for them is their commitment to the moment, great guitars and vocals that make you wish Buchanan would let loose and test his limits. Great anguished cover of "You Are So Beautiful." – Amy Bartlett (Rhapsody.com)
“Had a great time with Billy Buchanan and his group. They really did an excellent job.” – Crossthebridge.com
