Billy Simons (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Billy Simons (born December 17, 1983) is an American singer-songwriter originally from Ludlow, Massachusetts. His music is often described as acoustic pop, rock, and folk. Although he sometimes plays with a trio, Simons mostly plays solo acoustic shows incorporating guitar tapping, beatboxing, a looping effects pedal, and a distorted microphone through which he sings what sound like guitar solos, always playing exclusively with Taylor Guitars. In 2004, Billy Simons began giving live performances at New York City venues such as The Bowery Ballroom, The Bitter End, Sin-e, The Living Room, and The Canal Room. In 2007, Simons released a compilation of his compositions under the title "The Joker's Hand" (2007) on iTunes. Notable songs include "Sister Agnes," "Body," and "Part II."
