Kid Billy (Billy Litz) is an Asheville, NC based multi-instrumentalist and singer with a lust for song-writing. Taking cues from early American Roots music, Blues and Ragtime, Kid Billy’s earnest songwriting meets high energy jubilant sounds when tasteful live looping layers New Orleans trumpet, honky-tonk piano, acoustic guitar and harmonica. When not performing as Kid Billy, he is the lead singer and primary songwriter in the the 4-piece soul/rock band, Hustle Souls.
