From a musical family who have all left a mark on the local scene, Tony's jazz laced guitar riffs, deep groove, and gritty, soulful voice are an integral part of The Klick.

Watching and listening to his older brothers and their bands growing up gave Tony a solid foundation musically, and add a couple of years at the University Of Miami studying music and performance, and then the last 25 years or so working with area bands too numerous to name here, it's easy to understand where his repertoire of infectiously interesting fretwork and bluesy, raw vocal prowess come from.

Born in Rochester, NY, Billy's musical journey started out somewhere around the age of four when he discovered the piano at his aunt's house. By the time he turned eight his musical focus had shifted (much to his parent's dismay) to the drums.

In addition to session work, Billy was the drummer for Ricky Van Shelton, Dave & Sugar, and toured with Reba, The Judds, Alabama, Randy Travis, Clint Black, Highway 101, Lee Greenwood, Alan Jackson, Willie Nelson, George Jones and many others.

Recently, Billy was the drummer/band leader for up-and-coming Nashville Artist, Sean Patrick McGraw and the founder of the band Goodness.
