Inspirations: Dwight Yoakam Credence Clearwater Revival George Jones
History: Billy Mike grew up in a family of six in the small town of Clifton, IL. At an early age his father introduced him to music. On weekends his father would gather with old friends at a local dairy farm and played music into the wee hours. There he would sit under the kitchen table where they played and listen until he fell asleep. The music, which was mostly country and what we consider oldies now, inspired him to teach himself the guitar and sing. He has since been entertaining live for over 20 years now. He comments that, “Bakersfield is by far the most talented and most energized group he has ever performed with! Having four lead singers in one band creates unlimited possibilities.” We take great pride in performing a wide variety of musical genres.
