Billy Walton is an accomplished blues rock guitar master from the vibrant Jersey Shore music scene. He earned his stripes in the rock and roll trenches, playing lead guitar for many years with the legendary Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. He’s also shared the stage with icons like Little Steven Van Zandt, Gary US Bonds and Steven Tyler, to name a few.
The Billy Walton Band grew out of this rich musical heritage and found its groove when Billy connected with bassist William Paris. With the addition of Tom Petraccaro on sax, Eric Safka on the Hammond B3 organ, Bruce Krywinski Jr. on trumpet and Shane Luckenbough on drums, the band really hit its stride. The band’s efforts met with immediate interest from the fertile British blues scene leading to successful tours across Europe and then the eastern United States.
A dedicated fan base is growing and in addition to their blues rock fans, jam band fans have embraced them once they experienced the brilliant musicianship and high energy live shows that the Billy Walton Band delivers, night after night, all night long!
