 | Greg Billings - Lead Vocals & Guitar
I spent fifteen years in the Stranger band (6 albums) and seven years in Damn the Torpedoes (one album). I have made many friends along the way and 4 of those friends now form the Greg Billings Band. This band was put together for one reason- Lets have some fun ! While we have fun we also pride ourselves in our live shows. I have never had as much fun making music as I am having now. We have made a lot of friends over the years and hope to make many more. Lots of motorcycle riders!!! My hobbies are horticulture and beanie baby collecting. Below is my take on the "cats in the group". |  | Tom "King" Cardenas - Bass
Originally from Austin, Texas -Tom was one of the original Stranger band (where we spent 15 years) founders going back to "Lynxx" and "Romeo". Tom also spent several years with "Wiley Fox" with whom he recorded a CD. Before joining the GBB he had a stint with "Diamond Gray ". Tom is as solid a bass player you will find. It is great to have Tom and his signature style (and Gator Bass) on the Stranger tunes we play live. Tom is a great friend and it is an honor to have him in the line up. His hobbies include watching Andy Griffith reruns and searching for the best cheeseburger in the world. G.B. |  | George "Guitar" Harris - Guitar
Originally from another world- George has been in the bay area music scene for over 20 years (Maggies Council and Halcyon to name a few). He continues to work with "Soup Bone" several time a month. He has played on and produced many different projects at his Panda Productions Studio, including Strangers "Angry Dogs" session where I had the pleasure to work with him for the first time. "Damn the Torpedoes" also enlisted his services for their 1997 debut release. George plays with great feel and passion on all songs- especially the Stranger tunes. George hobbies include collecting butterflies and bareback bronco busting! G.B. |  | Leroy "Have drums will travel" Myers- Drums
Leroy and I go way back - He was in a band called Blind Man's Bluff in the 80's and later joined the Bobby Friss band. Stranger and BFB played many shows together and so the story goes!! We spent 6 years together in Damn the Torpedoes. Leroy is a great asset to the GBB as he brings another vocal and guitar to the line up. Leroy is also a songwriter and avid nude sunbather (no tan lines). He adds a great groove and tons of fun to our live shows. G.B. |  | Rob "I do not joke about money" Stoney- Keyboards
Rob is the newest member of the GBB. His past projects include" Webbed Feet" and "Walk the Chalk". Most recent project was 6 years with the "Warren Brothers" where had several of his songs recorded on their releases. Rob brings a wide variety of talent to the GBB including harmonica, guitar, vocals, and Jerry lee Lewis show. Rob also has a solo gig that he does several days a week. He is a perfect fit for the GBB and it is a pleasure to have him in the band. His hobbies are weight-lifting and tightrope walking (in a T-back). G.B. |
