The BillyRock Band — a trio of veteran Cincinnati musicians

The Story

Old soul.
New voltage.

Fronted by singing drummer Billy "BillyRock" McCarthy, The BillyRock Band is a premier Cincinnati 70s and classic rock cover band. We take the legendary records your parents wore out and reimagine them for a brand-new dance floor, breathing fresh, vibrant energy into the anthems you know and love.

Flanked by world-class musicians Alex Lusht and Christian Robles, this Greater Cincinnati trio is built on a deep foundation of soul, R&B, funk and classic rock. Think of the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack: the nostalgic warmth of a 70s mixtape, delivered by a band that performs with the energy of a debut.

Global Experience & Impressive Pedigree

When you book The BillyRock Band, you're hiring proven professionals. These members have performed high-end corporate events worldwide with The Philip Myers Band. Across their careers, BillyRock, Alex and Christian have shared stages with symphony ensembles, opera singers and Grammy-winning artists.

They've also had the honor of backing a remarkable roster of iconic names, including:

  • Los Lobos
  • Cee-Lo Green
  • Bobby Kimball (Toto)
  • Alex Ligertwood (Santana)
  • John Elefante (Kansas)
  • Fran Cosmo (Boston)
  • Kim Wilson (The Fabulous Thunderbirds)
  • Tommy Tutone
  • John Cafferty
  • Steve Augeri (Journey)
  • Kevin Chalfant

A Seamless, Cross-Generational Groove

On any given night, the band effortlessly bridges genres and eras. We turn the complex musicianship of Steely Dan, the undeniable soul of Stevie Wonder and the signature hits of Led Zeppelin, Prince, INXS and John Mayer into one seamless, locked-in groove — a highly polished, dynamic performance that connects with audiences of every generation.

Whether you're planning an exclusive private party, a festival or a corporate gala, The BillyRock Band delivers a top-tier musical experience.
