BILLY THOMPSON BAND
Billy Thompson has been delivering guitar work that has electrified audiences in the U.S. and throughout Europe, setting the tone for this veteran musician's sizzling performances, both live and in studio. In his original music, he combines world class slide guitar, searing licks and soulful vocals with a unique amalgamation of styles including blues, rock, funk, New Orleans and R&B.
Billy has played with legends such as Little Milton, Albert King, Earl King and Art Neville, while opening for the likes of Robert Cray, B.B. King, Sonny Landreth, The Neville Brothers and Joe Cocker, to name a few. He has performed on Barbara Walter's "The View", with the San Diego Symphony, the 2002 Super Bowl celebration as well as for the grand opening of L.A.'s House of Blues. Billy has also accomplished some impressive theatrical stints including lead guitar for the Broadway show "Ain't Nothin' but the Blues" and for Tony Award winning playwright Keith Glover's Bluesical, "Thunder Knocking on the Door," which he recorded with platinum recording artist Keb Mo.
His highly anticipated seventh release, entitled "Friend," is receiving rave reviews and heavy airplay worldwide. Along with his touring players, this release hosts guest appearances from Bill Payne (Little Feat, J.J. Cale), Ron Holloway (Warren Haynes, Tedeschi/Trucks), James "Hutch" Hutchinson (Bonnie Raitt, Neville Brothers), Kenny Gradney (Little Feat, Delaney & Bonnie) and Mike Finnigan (Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker).
