Artist Bio
|
For more than fifteen years Billy Greer has definitely been the Seventh Key in the ongoing success of the classic rock band Kansas. With his unique voice and bass style, Billy has elegantly carved his own distinctive sound with one of rock's finest bands. This one of a kind artist has just completed the second album from his solo project ironically called Seventh Key.
Once again, following the great critical and public acclaim that blessed his first album released in May 2001 on Frontiers Records, he decided to team up with former Streets bandmate and guitar player Mike Slamer to write and produce the new album aptly entitled “The Raging Fire”.
With a voice lead singers truly envy, Billy pushes the envelope once more with this newly completed record.
“The Raging Fire” represents another great release from one of rock's finest progressive musicians. With straight-ahead rockers, exceptional ballads, soaring vocals and ripping guitar solos, “The Raging Fire” flows like a river – allowing the listener to taste different musical flavours along the way. This is thanks to "Guitar God" Mike Slamer who produced, engineered and mixed this album, played most of the guitar and co-wrote all the songs. Mike shows once more what musical excellence is all about, thoroughly complimenting everything Billy sets out to do.
Whether you have heard Billy sing and play with QB1, Streets, pick the notes to "Dust in the Wind" at a Kansas concert, or play and sing on Seventh Key, Billy Greer's effortless singing and genuine songwriting is something you will not soon forget. Fortunately Billy Greer is one of the few musicians whose musical influences actually show through in his music, but with his own delicate signature – each bass line, each vocal note, each carefully placed lyric unlocks the mystery to what great rock and roll is all about.
If what they say is true: "You can truly see a man's soul when he sings and plays", then this man's soul is shining at its brightest! This kid can play!
