Billy in the Lowground are a 6-piece all-original Rock band with Folk instruments, which apparently confuses the hell out of people trying to fit them neatly into a genre... comparisons are sometimes made with the Waterboys, Pogues and Levellers, but there’s a distinctive and authentic tone to the band that’s all their own.
The sound is continuously evolving, incorporating elements of Americana, Cowpunk, Rock, and Country. Their songs are all written by singer Chris Hibberd, who started the band (then called the Brew Band) back in 1991 with other founder member Ruth Behan on fiddle.
They’ve played untold hundreds of gigs in pubs, clubs, and venues large and small all over the UK since they formed in 1991, as well as becoming veterans of the summer festival circuit, appearing at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Bearded Theory, Farmfest, Watchet, Godney Gathering, Off The Tracks, Sunrise Celebration, Home Farm Festival, Trowbridge Festival, Landed Festival and many, many more.
They’ve also supported many big-name acts on tour, including The Men They Couldn’t Hang, Norma Waterson & Martin Carthy, Oysterband, Rory McCleod, the Wurzels, Fairport Convention, and most recently, Transglobal Underground, Wishbone Ash and John Otway.
