The Livesays are an accomplished five-piece Heartland/Americana band
fronted by the band’s namesake critically acclaimed
singer/songwriter/guitarist Billy Livesay, who spent 12 years
performing, recording and touring with E-Streeter Clarence Clemons' band
"Temple of Soul." During his 12-year tenure with the beloved “Big Man,”
Billy recorded and released "Live in Asbury Park" Volumes I & II at
The Stone Pony, the second album which features Bruce Springsteen.
Billy has shared the stage with so many industry giants, his resume
reads like a "Who's Who of Rock n' Roll Hall of Famers."
Drummer Steve Rheingold, was formerly the beat keeper with the legendary Wayne Cochran.
The Livesays' lineup is rounded out with Jorge Laplume on bass, Victor
"Cuqui" Berrios on Hammond B-3 organ, and Tim Murphy on piano, all of
whom have impressive resumes of their own. Cuqui, who grew up in New
York City, offers a touch of the Big Apple to the band with his Hammond
B3 and impassioned vocals. Tim brings his ear for harmony and his unique
Elton John style piano. Jorge hails from Havana, Cuba; with his Latin
roots coupled with a steady diet of the rock groups The Who and Free, he
delivers a bass sound that is both funky and thunderous.
The combination of these five seasoned pros, with their versatile
backgrounds, incomparable harmonies, energy level, and undeniable
chemistry, create real magic on stage together and put on one heck of a
dynamic live performance.
The Livesays have created five full length albums that are both
memorable and moving with stories ranging from adolescence to adulthood,
from battling addiction to conquering depression, from finding love to
losing love ... with lyrics that will surely touch your heart and quench
your soul.
