Born and raised in Louisville, KY, Americana singer, songwriter, and guitarist Billy Stoops has called the Pacific Northwest home for over two decades.

The energetic and charismatic front man was named “Entertainer of the Year” and “Best Male Vocalist” by the Washington Blues Society, while his distinctive guitar style on both electric and acoustic along with his groove-oriented songwriting garnered him a Tacoma Music “Summy” Award for ” Performer of the Year”.

Billy’s latest release “Dirt Angel”, the long awaited follow up to his acclaimed 2007 recording “Little Devil” features Stoops’ rich, soulful vocals and poignant lyrics on 10 all-original pure-D Americana tunes. His band, aptly entitled Billy Stoops & the Dirt Angels, supports the album and tour with an all-star lineup of root’s rockin’ musicians.
