About
Billy Lowry grew up in Kenmore, WA where he first recorded himself on cassette tapes as a child, beginning guitar at age 8. In high-school, Billy studied music theory and piano & was in garage bands 'The Lizards’ & ‘Prison Oatmeal’. In college, he was in several 70’s influenced rock groups (‘Nobody’s Fault’, ‘Tie & Hired’); eventually moving to L.A. to join experimental rock group ‘The Future?’. Billy toured the CA & NV circuit & fronted local Valley of the Sun bands: ‘The Fur Traders’, ‘Echo Junction’ (bluegrass), & ‘Dave’s Not Here’, where he progressed on bass.
"All The Same Monster"
Billy Lowry produced, sang all vocals, and played the majority of instruments {guitar, piano, bass} on his first solo-album: “All The Same Monster”. In just 6 months, he's over 350k streams on Spotify alone! He also plays a ukulele, kalimba, ocarina, French horn, harpsichord, even an accordion. The genre ranges from an alternative & indie vibe to prog-rock pop, yet original all its own.
This ‘melodic space age boom-rock adventure’ features Paul Sears (‘The Muffins’, Fred Frith) on drums, and special guests: Gregtronic on synth, Ron Cook ('Dry Heat') on harmonica, & Chris Skowron on saxophone. For this lo-fi project, Billy enlisted local Phoenix renowed mixer: Jalipaz of Audioconfusion.
