Billy Ray and Real Trouble is a high energy Blues Rockin' band. Formed in September 2004, the group features the tunes of the blues rock genre. We perform the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Eric Clapton, Cream, Jimi Hendrix,  Free, Bad Company, The Doors, Ten Years After, The Rolling Stones, Black Crowes, CSN,  Kenny Wayne Sheppard,  and others.  We perform a unique mix of Rock, Southern Rock, and Blues Rock. We also feature a Stevie Ray Vaughan Tribute show. Our music is full of romantic appeal, toe tappin', head boppin', butt shakin' fun, gut wrenching rockin' guitar riffs, and soul to soul - heart to heart singin'.  Billy Ray is the designated ambassador of authentic Blues Rockin' Music for the tri-state area.  Loose your own troubles in something that's still got that "Real" electrified Hendrix hippie-trippin' sounds - the way music is supposed to be felt & heard.  If you got beer and the grill going then you need Billy Ray and Real Trouble to make the party complete. We would be proud to perform for your wedding reception if you don't mind having more than the bride and groom all worked up at the end of the evening!

Note: Billy Ray studies guitar performance at the prominent Berklee College of Music in Boston MA. Bill's berklee myspace can be found at  http://www.myspace.com/billingramjam

"We are a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline."  - Blue's Brothers
"I think the blues will always be around. People need it."  Johnny Winter
"Describing Woodstock as the "big bang," I think that's a great way to describe it, because the important thing about it wasn't how many people were there or that it was a lot of truly wonderful music that got played."  - David Crosby
