  • Bio

    .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..That's a video for "Pillbug Blues" from my new album, Ryan Gelatin made it!.. .. I think I do the laid-back Country-Folk Singer-Songwriter thing pretty good, and I hope to have a lot of good times along the way. I've been at it for a real long time and you should hear the stories I can tell. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..That's a video for "Runaway Blues" by my occasional side-project The Chauncers. Grant Tucker made it!.. .. I've played throughout Ohio and Kentucky, up to Detroit and Chicago, down into Nashville and Memphis, over to New York, Jersey and into Philly, and plenty of other spots in-between. I made a lot of new drinking pals along the way. .. My latest release is "Half A Jug Full = NO DEAL," available on Cincinnati-based Tokyo Rose Records. They have a website, and pretty soon it'll be on iTunes and all that stuff too. I also have shirts and stickers with my face printed on them. If you'd like to get your hands on any of that, just drop me a line. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..That's a video for "Sansabelt" by my occasional side-project The Chauncers, I made it!.. .. A lot of folks try to send me messages here and I'll do my best to keep up, but don't be so hard on me if it takes awhile. Email is preferred, if you've got it!.. .. Over the years, I've played awesome shows with people like Hasil Adkins, Wil Cope, Tim Easton, Brian Jonestown Massacre, Neil Hamburger, Heartless Bastards, MC Chris, Chris Crofton, El Vez, Mark Zero, Buffalo Killers, Our Lady Peace, Chuck Cleaver, Murder City Devils and a whole bunch more. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

"Musically energized … a solid, electrified collection of sometimes spare, sometimes rollicking tunes … big chords in front of a rhythm section vibrant and rocking enough to make the whole experience feel like classic AltCountry.".. ..Alex Weber, CityBeat.. .. "(Billy’s) music became more personal, deeper and full of honesty. It developed a serrated edge that tore at the very essences of all that 'real' surrounding him, varied in every approach to his music … like a lost document from Gram Parsons, Neil Young or Willie Nelson.".. ..Shawn Abnoxious, CityBeat.. .. "Reminds me of Gerald Collier (and) brittle bits of id, an insight into Catfish. The set as a whole is rather eclectic, (and) there are quite a few gems sparkling in the wash.".. ..Aiding & Abetting.. .. "Dude, you fin' rock!".. ..Nick Oliveri (Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Mondo Generator).. .. "Reminds me of Jim White's Searching For Wrong-Eyed Jesus in its cryptic, meandering style, quirky vocals and idiosyncratic narratives. Ultimately, after a few listens, I'm still drawn to it." ..Vinyl Princess, Caught in the Carousel.. .. "This country crooning catfish is a catch! A cool-assed cowboy in command of his folk country tunes.".. ..Rocktober..
