WRITER OF MANY SONGS

"If one song ain't your cup of tea - keep listening, perhaps you'll find one that is."

With influences as far spread as his southern roots are from California, Billy Estrada is a true genre-bending songwriter. A disciple of artists like Ray Charles, The Band, Taj Mahal, Waylon Jennings, Van Morrison, Guy Clark, The Allman Brothers, and The Marshall Tucker Band, Estrada weaves together the musical genres Roots, Country, Soul, Gospel, Southern Rock, Folk, Blues, Westerns, Instrumentals, and Story-filled Ballads.

Estrada's latest songs include a deep appreciation for the Mighty Oak, in the Americana-flavored, "Looking Back at Us"; the need to always return home, in the ballad, "Home", an Old West story in "Henry's Redemption", a nod to Jerry Lee Lewis, in the swamp-rocker, "Killer on the Loose", an upbeat, Country Blues love letter in "Lucky Boy, Indeed", the true story of when a dog met a baseball team, in "Legend of the Ballpark", and the story of a Bullfighter and the parallel to life, in "The Fight".
