This is my Official Billy Sheehan MySpace
website.
I started playing about a thousand years
ago--starting with local Buffalo, NY bands which evolved into a group called "Talas"
in the early 70's.
Talas played a
zillion gigs & opened for tons of major bands as they came through Buffalo.
Eventually, Talas opened for Van Halen in 1980 and from that, David Lee Roth
called to start a band after he left Van Halen.
After "Eat' Em & Smile" album & tour with Dave,
Steve Vai, Greg Bissonette, & Brett Tuggle, the "Skyscraper" album was recorded.
After that, I was on my own & started Mr. Big. Our 1st album did OK, but the
second one "Lean Into It" went platinum & had several hits. Mr. Big continued on
successfully until 2001 when we split up.
As a side project, I started "Niacin"
(Improvisational/fusion band) with Dennis Chambers on drums & John Novello on
B3---that's still going strong & we're on our 5th record "Organik" now. My first
solo CD was called "Compression" in 2002---on Steve Vai's "Favored Nations"
record label, followed up by my 2nd solo CD "Cosmic Troubadour" last year.
I've done a lot of touring with Steve
recently--especially as a follow up to his "Real Illusions" CD (CBS/Sony) which
I played on. There's more---to be continued/elaborated upon/& further explained.
I play bass. I'm still learning. I live for music. I've done over 4000
shows & made dozens of records. I'm a lucky guy & very thankful to the MANY
people who made it possible.
