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 & The Golden West Cowboys. Together, Redd and Pee Wee penned some of traditional Country music's greatest hits like, " 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 music, western swing, and bluegrass music. The sounds of a fiddle, bass fiddle, banjo, steel guitar, accordion and a mandolin were deeply rooted into his soul.
As Billy grew up and began to hon his skills on guitar, it was the late sixties and early seventies when he was influenced by the new music of the rock scene. He 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 he approaches his music today. "My hope is to create a sound that is my own. I want people to hear my
music and instantly know it's me"!
