At a KingBilly show, you'll experience something completely different—a blend of high, lonesome bluegrass harmonies, bluesy lap steel and banjo and the country equivalent of AC/DC power riffs. It's all fused into a seamless whole as tight and dynamic as the Blue Angels in flight. The six band members are equally adept at pickin' and writin'; like deep-sea anglers, they throw back the good tunes and only keep the great ones. KingBilly can and will play just about anything, as long as it's good. To a male fan who knows his pickers, these guys are lively, inquisitive and engaging. To the fairer sex, they're hot, fun and put on one hell of a live show. KingBilly is determined to forge an innovative path to success while maintaining the integrity of the music.
Hailing from all over this great land of ours—North Dakota, Maryland, Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida and Georgia—the future members of KingBilly followed their shared destiny to Nashville, bringing their talents and dreams along for the ride. All six speak the same language as well as sharing an ability to communicate without the need for words. They're single-minded, super-tight and totally badass.
As anyone who's been to a KingBilly show will enthusiastically tell you, this band—Donny Fallgatter (vocals), Kevin Weaver (drums), Charlie Worsham (banjo, mandolin, guitar, vocals), Josh Matheny (dobro, lap steel, vocals), Matt Utterback (bass, vocals) and John Osborne (guitar, vocals)—has created something vital as a unit, a brand of rockin' country that connects with both sexes in equal measure. The band's infectious, youthful energy is unlimited, as is their artistic ceiling, and they're well on their way to realizing their collective dream.
