...the Billy Sunday Band offers up a new and unique perspective of the modern Southern troubadour. The lyrical content is tough, but skillful with harmonious cries of redemption , freedom and love all wrapped together in a blanket of understanding. It is in this understanding that we the listener are asked to come to our own salvation and open up a piece of the human heart that has been stowed away in a dusty box in the attic . The music of The Billy Sunday Band compels the listener to ask the question ,is freedom through music is possible? - electricchildren.com

Bio
Thinking people's music. Pretty and rough. Like an elegant pedicured foot in a comfortable old leather shoe. Make you cry. Get you laughing. Scare the piss out of you. Honest. No excuses.We stand in reverence on the backs of giants. We do our best to carry the flame that Woody lit and Bob Dylan kept burning so bright in our youth. Ours is the sound of bald tires on a back road to the party where you learned to dance. And kissed that girl. And got in that fight. We are a great speckled bird with Rock and Roll stuck in our craw. We live in the space between a hot Saturday night and a cool Sunday morning. We all grew up where Elvis drove a truck for money. And Hank used to play for whiskey.You hear it in the songs we sing. Our separate voices become some new greater thing. With words we hope ring true.
Let me introduce you to the Billy Sunday Band. We are based on the Alabama coast. We cook a mean stew of folk, country and rock. Mary Gauthier is a fan of ours and described our song SINGING WITH EMMYLOU as "F''''ing brilliant". We have been featured at the Frank Brown Int'l Songwriter Festival, Bayfest in Mobile, Flat Rock Music Fest in NC, New Orleans Song Fest,and The Concert for Peace in Cinncinati, OH. sponsored by Neil Young and his LWW Today website.
