The Billy Smith Band is a United States based Blues and Rockabilly style band with a unique style focusing on a strong guitar presence and original music compilations.
Growing up in Akron Ohio, Billy Smith has had exposure to great musical acts and influences and it shines through in his musical talent and latest albums. Some say he is this era’s Jimi Hendrix with his amazing guitar skills and unique playing tricks such as playing behind his head, flat on a table or even with his teeth.
Billy Smith is a one of a kind artist that mixes blues, rockabilly and rock n’ roll into an entertaining show that involves the audience and keeps them focused on the stage.
The rock great Freddie Salem of The Outlaws appears courtesy of Warner Brothers Records and is an inspiration, support and active member of the Billy Smith Band. Freddie’s claim to fame was renewed with the hit "Green Grass & High Tide" from the famous video game Rock Band.
Billy Smith
Billy Smith is an American born songwriter and all around Consummate musician who’s goal in life musically, is to spread the word about American roots music. Billy’s career has produced six full length C.D.s including Mississippi River Boat, Belly of the Beast and most recently Welcome to Akron. Bill’s music takes you on a voyage to the Legendary regions that have spurned the Delta Blues, Bluegrass, Backwoods Country, Folk, Zydeco and Gospel. Being a multi-Instrumentalist playing the guitar, mandolin, banjo and most stringed Instruments permits him to experiment in the truest forms of the music Mentioned. Spending time performing in Nashville, Savannah, Montreal and all points between also supporting Country icon, David Allen Coe, British keyboard great, Brian Auger, to theater Rock originals, The Tubes, his music and performances seem to cross over to diverse Audiences everywhere.
By June of 2112, Billy will make a move to Europe to live and perform. Europe and Asia alike have for generations cherished and idolized the American roots music and the performers who play it. Performers of integrity with a heartfelt love of their music. This seems to always cut through to the listeners’ soul. I have personally seen Billy’s music do Just that.
Being a career musician myself in the studio and on the road, as a Member of The Chambers Brothers, The Outlaws, The Godz and also Performing on over sixty records as a session guitarist, I started Learning the guitar by listening to B.B. King, Muddy Waters and a slew of other greats. I am constantly on the search for performers that feed my need for the music that I learned to play. I was also retained as a Session guitarist on Billy’s last two C.D.s and the experience was enjoyable and fulfilling for me as a player. I look forward to his next project that will hopefully be recorded in Europe.
Roots music is the heartbeat of the entire world and Billy plays it.
All The Best

On the Album: Guitars And Blues
The Billy Smith Band, a six-piece outfit dedicated to the working mans blues. Think simple, clean riffs complemented with speed on the fret and low- down throaty phrasing and you get some idea. With a raspy voicing part George Thoroughgood, part Tom Waits, guitarist Billy Smith leads his band through a jagged collection of boogie-woogie blues on Guitars and Blues. The follow-up to 93s twelve-track Blues Got A Hold of Me, Guitars is a collection of 15 original no-frills blues jams, each highlighting a vintage guitar with a notable place in the instruments evolution. Smith fingers a different guitar on each track, among them rare instruments like a 65 Fender Jaguar on 'Wealth of the World' or a 67 Gretsch Tennesseean on' I Can't Take Care of You.' While it's not unique for guitar players to rotate their instruments on a recording, it is noteworthy for a musician to feature each guitar alongside song titles on the albums back cover. 'I featured a wide variety of guitars because I wanted to document what classic guitars sound like,' said Smith of the recent release. When on the road and confined by van space, he carries a Dan Shinn custom Stratocaster and a Les Paul customized by Ray Lay.
Guitars and Blues features 15 songs performed on 15 classic American guitars.Gibson, Fender, PRS and Gretsch all share the spot light on this rockin CD. If you love guitar and dig the blues this CD is a must. It reached No.1 on the MP3 Ohio blues charts in June 2002 and broke the top 40 on the national charts. This is the first time it has been offered for sale and now is your chance.
