Billy started a new project;  which is  recording a collection of  500 Fiddle Tunes.
Billy is aiming to  release 5 triple discs (15 CD's in all)of  the first 500 tunes with a book of musical notation to accompany the recordings.   For more info click here:                  
 
Billy Mathews is known far and wide across this land for his musical skill and old time fiddlin' and pickin' ability.  He has traveled extensively throughout the Midwest for over 30 years.   Kinships have earned him a considerable amount of notoriety and recognition throughout old time, traditional music circles. Billy has that Ozark up-bow/backbeat style of fiddlin' that is in the Midwest Dance Tradition. more

Also, true to his name, Banjo Billy plays a variety of banjos as owner of the Phippsburg Banjo Company.
Rd. Lunceford of The Old Time Herald said that Billy's  Minstrel style banjo playing on the album Ghost of Banjo Billy is , " what true traditional banjo playing has really always been  about."
 Lunceford also says about Billy's tunes that: " ...had I not known better, I would have expected to have found them in an early 19th Century banjo manual"

 Billy still resides in the Ozark Mountains  continuing work on music projects. Billy keeps busy by traveling throughout the country for workshops, concerts and other special events, 
playing his  huge repertoire of old time fiddle and banjo tunes.  
It'll get your feet a tappin' and your heels a clickin'!
