Short Bio: Billy Yeager is a self-taught musician. He has written and recorded over 2600 musical compositions. In his early 20s, he won several National Songwriting contests. He produced his first album, What’s It Gonna Take, in 1983. Over 22 of South Florida’s top musicians, such as Dennis Noday, Rex White, Jay Drake, Alan Layton and Diane Sherrow, recorded on the album. On his second album, Be My Valentine, produced in 1985, Billy played every instrument. The album was recorded at Circle Sound Studios, which is the private recording studio of the Inner Circle Reggae Band. Yeager was the guitar player for the Grammy Award winning band from 1985 to 1986. Both Bernard “Touter” Harvey and Ian Lewis were involved in the engineering and production of the Be My Valentine album. Billy has played and performed alongside musicians such as Doug Ingle (Iron Butterfly), Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel), Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge), Butch Trucks (Allman Brothers), and Pat Travers. In 1987, Yeager recorded with Ira Sullivan, Eddie Higgins, and Peter “Mars” Cowling on Stan Jeff Brown’s album Transformation Paradox. Yeager also recorded with Jaco Pastorius, who considered Billy one of the greatest guitarists he ever performed with. In 1983, Yeager recorded a jam session with Jaco and then they went to jam live at the Tipperary Pub in Deerfield Beach, Florida. The performance was filmed on VHS by the bar’s owner and was last seen being auctioned online. From 1974-1986, Yeager sang and played guitar in many of South Florida’s top bands, working with artists such as Harold Seay and Inner Circle reggae band. In 1986, Billy quit playing in cover bands and bought his first 4-track recorder (when Billy first began writing and recording his music back in 1978, he had to experiment with small tape decks, recording tracks multiple times, mixing them eventually onto one tape). This was the beginning of Yeager’s songwriting isolation period; for over 6 years, he worked intensively on his own unique style and sound (he even boarded up his windows, so he wouldn’t be aware of the sunlight and time); sometimes a day would turn into night and he would have as many as 3 to 8 written and recorded songs in a 24 hour period. Not a single day would pass where Yeager wouldn’t have recorded at least 3 songs. During these years Yeager confined himself to a small apartment in Hollywood Beach and took a part time job as a janitor. He would wake up every day at 3 a.m. and returned home at 8:00 a.m. This would allow him to write and record songs during the rest of the day. In 1991, Yeager gave a copy of his original music to Grammy Award Winner Bruce Hornsby backstage at a concert. Bruce called Billy personally from the road while he was performing with the Grateful Dead; Hornsby was so excited by the demo cassette tape that he personally wanted to help Billy receive a record deal with a major label. Bruce Hornsby, in an interview with Miami New Times, said (regarding the many demo tapes he received), “The bad news and sad truth is that most of them are really terrible. I’ve been inundated with them for years. Billy’s is really different. It’s possibly the only one I’ve ever heard where I thought, ‘This is something.’ Most of these tapes are so badly done. I mean, why don’t they take more pride in what they are doing? Billy was different. Billy has songs that reach people.”
