To understand who Billy Stewart is and where his music is coming from you first have to know a little bit about his past. Billy grew up the son of Redd Stewart, lead vocalist, guitar player, and fiddle player with Pee Wee King And The Golden West Cowboys. Together Redd And Pee Wee penned some of Traditional Country Music's greatest hits like "The Tennessee Waltz", "You Belong
To Me", "Soldiers Last Letter", and "Bonaparte's Retreat", just to name a few. Because of his father, Billy was greatly influenced by Traditional Country , Western Swing, and Blue Grass Music. The sounds of a fiddle, a bass fiddle, a banjo, a steel guitar, the accordion, and a mandolin were deeply rooted into Billy's soul.
As Billy grew up and began to hon his skills on guitar it was the late sixties and early seventies and he was influenced by the new music of the rock scene. Billy was drawn to the sounds of the new guitar guru's like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Frank Marino, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani. It's with these two totally different influences that Billy approaches his music today. "My hope is to create a sound that is my owe. I want people to hear my
music and instantly know it's me"!
