Billy’s music is like a trip to Key West
via “The Twilight Zone”.
An unabashed Boomer, his original music
resonates, involves and entertains, spanning emotionally from hilarious to
heartfelt.
Billy's music is recorded on four CDs: "What's So Bad About Feelin'
Good?", "The Diva of the Silver Top Diner", "Gumbo Beach"
and "Trop Trip".
Comfortable with any sized crowd, his
specialty is intimate venues (decks, private parties, house
concerts ) where he can connect with the audience.
His
performance
philosophy is “It’s all about the audience... whatever gets them going” as
he draws from a large repertoire of cover songs that are like the
soundtrack of a generation and his own unique original material.
Billy has been performing for over 25 years on Rhode Island waterfronts and regionally in venues like
Boston's Dick’s Last
Resort and The House of Blues in L.A. He
originally sang in a cappella doo-wop quartet The Hudsons, and is front
man for Classic Rock band
New York Minute,
in addition to solo shows.
He is a published ASCAP songwriter with a
catalog of over 50 original songs and is a board member of the Rhode Island
Songwriters Association, Billy also produces Radio & TV jingles and other
digital media and branding programs with his company
JYNGLZ
.
With
music inspired by the wit of Shel
Silverstein and the eccentricity of John Prine, few people can connect
with an audience like Billy Mitchell.
