Billy PriceBilly Price is a soul singer in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. He was born in Fair Lawn, New Jersey, and began singing in high school. Price attracted national attention in the mid-1970s during his three-year collaboration with blues guitarist Roy Buchanan. The pair toured the U.S. and Canada, playing Carnegie Hall in New York, the Newport Jazz Festival, the Roxy and the Troubadour in Los Angeles, and the Spectrum in Philadelphia. Shortly thereafter Price formed the Keystone Rhythm Band, which remained intact until 1990. He then formed The Billy Price Band, which currently consists of Lenny Smith (guitar), Willy Franklin (bass), Dave Dodd (drums), John Burgh (keyboards), Joe Herndon (trumpet), Eric DeFade (tenor sax) and Rick Matt (baritone and tenor sax). Though he works full-time in corporate communications at the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, he continues to perform regularly in Pittsburgh, the eastern United States, and occasionally in Europe.
