Billy is the main songwriter for the band. His influences run from blues to country to 60's heavy metal. Bill started out writing songs with Dean Silva during the early days of The Blues Trap, but a lot of the collaboration songs never saw the light of day until now! Several of these songs might make it to the first EP. A few of the other songs written towards the end of his stint with Dean and were never played by The Blues Trap (Saved My Soul, Comfort Me). The remainder of the material he wrote on his own or with Keith Radich.
