Personal life experience and the desire to translate it and tell one's story through music is what drives most songwriters to create these Musical and Lyrical representations of their personal perspectives. The Loves and Heartbreaks , the Joys and Disappointments ,the Triumphs as well as the Setbacks are all equally important in shaping the narrative that becomes the Backstory in all our lives.

Then add in the Musical influences of your youth! Born and raised on Chicago's diverse and culture rich Southside. Growing up surrounded by the Classic Rock of the 60s and 70s The Beatles, Stones, Aretha, and of course what many consider to be the Windy City's Native Tongue The Electric Blues. While having the rare honor to be right place right time to play as a young newbie with the likes of Junior Wells, James Cotton, Koko Taylor, Big Time Sarah just to name a few of the Historic Blues Icons who called Chitown home, became a very potent combination that over the years morphed into a collection of Bluesy Backbeat Roots Vignettes deeply steeped in Mother Blues and her first born Rock & Roll.

On the two critically acclaimed CDs "Somethin's Wrong" and "Overnight Success" song after song tells life's stories and the feelings that come along with them .. We hope you relate and like them ! 

*Our favorite review of all time I think was the shortest .. From a Blues Magazine writer in Missouri

It read in total:

"Billy D & The Hoodoos - Really Good Band, Really Good Show, Really Good Songs .. a Unique. BluesRock Experience."

We hope everyone feels the same and we see you all soon..

Keep Rockin

Billy D
