Artist description Music that hits you up close and personal, that is what The Billy Ray Band does. The driving force behind these 70’s roots oriented Rock & Roll is a music that speaks for itself. BRB, a four-piece band from Seattle Washington, comes from the old school of Rock & Roll. Using their up tempo guitars, driving bass, and their hard hitting drums, BRB has created a sound that has been lacking in today's music."Our music has a hard driven edge with the best of the 70's, and 80's with a 90's energy level," says lead guitarist Tony Terlicker. With the release of their debut CD "Were Here" on the horizon, BRB plans to play local gigs in and around the Puget Sound area. A regional tour of the West Coast is planned for the fall of 1999, with a working vacation tour in Germany next spring. . There are also plans for regional distribution through independent distributors and consignment in local music retail stores of "Were Here". With these plans in order BRB will get the fan base that they will need to gain momentum for their success.
