Billy Vera & the Beaters are the quintessential L.A. band. Local Hollywood Stars, producers, and other hipsters have frequented the bands' shows throughout the So-Cal area for the past 25 years. The Baddest Band On Any Stand still sounds great live with their mix of Billy's smooth vocals and the rockin' horn section,(recently adding back in a 4th sax, just like the ol' days). BV, as he's known to his friends, still hits the high notes and is also reknowned for amusing the crowd between songs with his witty patter. If you appreciate R&B, Blues, and crowd-pleasin' music, any show of Billy Vera & the Beaters is sure to please.
