Welcome to the Artistic Director's Guide

The Artistic Director's Guide is our way of taking you "beyond the bio". Here you'll find audio and video clips, and I'll describe what I like about each artist and suggest why he or she is important to the scene. So dive in—use the menu options above to find an artist, and let's seek to answer "What's so good about...?"

What's so good about Billy's Band?

Billy's Band

I can sum up why I like Billy's Band in two words: musical mayhem.

Every once in a while, it's fun to just let loose: ignore the rules, pay no attention to how we're supposed to act on stage, forgot what we were taught about musical technique...and it's amazing how good the music can be when that happens. Billy's Band is a great example.
