Artist History:
Billy Schaub has been entertaining audiences for more than 20 years! Born and raised in Walnut Creek, California Billy started playing guitar at the age of 11. "We boarded horses and ponies on my parents property and of course we had chickens." At the age of 12 he started singing and performing with the school choir as well as playing guitar at his church with the 9am folk group. "My dad and I had to string barbed wire in the rain during storms a lot cause when the fence needs a fixin'' it needs a fixin''! "He co-founded the rock band "The Field Mice " and quickly built up a following in San Francisco and Berkeley. "I had to spend a good part of my summers clearing brush and bushes so the horses would have more room to run around." In 1993 Billy moved to Los Angeles. His unique ability to change the style from song to song demonstrate his strong musicianship and his intent of keeping the interest of the listener. He has opened for a lot of cool bands like ............................. Credence Clearwater Revisited, Drama Rama, The Ramones and Chris Isaak!
Billy Schaub
Press reviews:
He isn''t with the times. More than any other singer, he is the times. If the electric guitar were disinevented tonight, a few thousand singers would be out on their amps. But not Schaub. He defies fad. He stayeth. He has known more and felt more about the stuff songs are made of, the words of poets. You cant sing the way he does until you''ve been Belly to big belly with Reality a few times. That''s what makes insight, and what''s made The Schaub. What''s made him last and get better. If he clears his throat having just swallowed a shot glass, the people all laugh. If they didn''t he''d know he was in trouble. When they stop laughing, then your in trouble. But Billy ain''t in no trouble. He leans into the front end of Big Belly and starts singing all the way to "Pigs on the Wing". And there''s no chop-choppy phrasing along the way. No dit-dit-dit. It comes out mmmmmmmmmmm all the way. Its like he makes a contest out of singing without breathing. If he runs out of gas on a phrase, which is a very rare bird for the man, then he runs out of gas two-and-a -half miles after any one else would. He sings like he''s got an extra tank of Petroleum in his tummy. So the man''s the master of pop singing form. But that''s not the big thing. What''s the big thing is the way he uses form. Schaub, when he sings at you, doesn''t look at you. He looks about six inches behind your eyes. His eyes a little far away. A little closer to where the truth lives. If you want to pick a word for it, pick one in seven easy letters: Honesty. The thing is, no singer is quite as honest. And that makes no one else quite as good, doesn''t it.
