Bio

BillyRay Sheppard, saxophonist living in San Antonio Texas has a love affair with music. His musical roots run deep with earliest experiences in Blues, R & B, Reggae, Latin, Tejano and Country bands. It's his love for music that keeps him grounded and his love for jazz that keeps him performing. Soon after academic life, he pursued many different avenues in the field of music, at times as a sideman for many artist and other times as a studio musician.

BillyRay is one of the first call smooth jazz perforrmers in the San Antonio area. He has shared his talents on stage with Ray Charles, Julio Iglesias, Willie Nelson, Roy Hargrove, The Dirty Dozen Band, Johnny Bush and many many more. With his rich, warm soulful tone he has made a name for himself with his saxophone.

In addition to performing in concerts, BillyRay is available as a soloist, or band performer (leader of The Main Event Band of San Antonio TX) for private functions including conventions, weddings, private parties, fashion shows etc...
