Bio
The band is a combination of two failed one man bands in the Boston Area. I (Billy Bean) and my partner (& the Butterworths) both performed on street corners on the North and South ends of the city. One day, at a "Battle of the One Man Bands" contest, we ran into each other and discovered that we shared the same interests in music. The rest is history.
Our band's music is influenced by a plethora of artists that encompass a wide spectrum of the musical genre field. Billy Bean & the Butterworths' style mainly comes from listening to John Philip Sousa, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Megadeath.
