BILLIE AND THE KIDS
We are an 8-piece band that plays 1950s rhythm & blues, jump blues and 50s style New Orleans r&b. Very unique combo nowdays for our amazing 25-years-old female singer, as well as 3 saxophone horn section that capture a vintage groove, like back in the heydays of Fats Domino, Little Richard or Ruth Brown. We play for several years now, on the stages all across the Europe – from festivals to clubs in England, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Austria, Denmark, and so on….The first album, „Take One“, was released in 2010 for Rhythm Bomb Records in Germany, and the second one, „Jukebox Daddy“, in 2014, along with the 45 single release. Our original song „I Need You Tonight“ was recently featured as the opening number for the German screwball-musical „The Last Lie“. We made several TV appearances, as well as live radio shows. Got invited to play in the United States, making plans to do a longer US tour in 2015.
