Billy Goodman is a unique singer-songwriter and slide guitarist. He comes from the USA where he performed for over a decade with the Goodman Brothers featuring Steve Kimock. Also to his credit are his slide playing and touring with Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane, Electric Hot Tuna), Dave Mason (Traffic), and bass playing as a road crew member for Grace Slick and Starship.
Together with his brother Frank he received a four star review in the German Rolling Stone for the 1995 Goodman Brothers release Crooked Smile, and his 1998 solo debut Walk the Street Alone was equally well-received in Europe.
Billy currently resides in Berlin and continues the tradition of folk and blues. His bottleneck slide guitar, original songs and expressive singing are his trademark. He has been called “the missing link between Paul Simon and Muddy Waters” and has opened shows for such greats as Van Morrison, David Lindley, Leon Russell, Chris Whitley, John Hammond, Tom Paxton, and many others.
Billy has recorded eleven official CD’s that are available on Itunes and all other popular download websites.
