She stands as a testament to her unwavering love for music and for life.
Billy Sheehan - Bass legend with Buffalo roots and arena-sized impacts:
Before Billy was recognized by the world as one of the greatest rock bassists of all time, Buffalo rock fans already knew that he was bound for international success. He gained an immense amount of experience on local stages with bands like Talas and Light Years. Billy very quickly became a regional favorite. He earned top bass player in 1981 and 1982 of the Buffalo Music Awards and became one of the very first inductees into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame.
His talent and explosive stage presence caught some attention nationally when he joined UFO and later on David Lee Roth's band, before he co-founded the chart-topping supergroup Mr. Big, going on to achieving multi-platinum success.
Despite all the global fame, he never forgot his Buffalo roots. In the late 90's he returned home and reunited with Talas for a live recording at Kleinhans Music Hall, which followed tours in Japan, and sold out shows. Billy's journey from so many stages in Buffalo to global arenas is what exposes him as the artist whose deep passion inspired the incredible remembrance of the community that believed in him and his music first.
