Billy Libby

Billy Libby’s new self-titled music career is the product of a long musical history. Straight out of high school, his pop/rock project achieved great success both live and on radio. After the conclusion of that project came a long road of musical reinvention and self-discovery. Years of exploring different ideas in music and pop culture, traveling, recording and composing new material for various projects, brought him both national and international airplay and touring experience in the US and in the Middle East, as well as the perspective and confidence to re-approach his own music.

Billy’s upcoming release, “Pitter Patter”, is an introspective and subdued collage of snapshots, which capture both the heaviest and most whimsical moments of life. It is a culmination of years of songwriting and experimenting with multiple instruments and recording techniques. Having spent months simultaneously moving microphones, layering drums, and harmonies, he produced a record out of the nest of instruments he calls a bedroom. The recording of this album began in the Winter of 2010, following his first experience with heart break and a trip to central America to pull himself together.

With the record due out summer 2011 in conjunction with us, Billy can be found playing in both a 6-piece, 4-piece and duo setting throughout the North East. Currently available is The Little Bird EP, released independently in October of 2010. This stripped down EP consists mainly of two acoustic guitars and vocals. The EP showcases Billy’s music in its rawest form and has been described as “a four song collection that relies primarily on perfect pop craftsmanship and candid intimacy” by The Free Press.
