🎼19 March 1953. Happy Birthday 🥳🍾to Mr. Billy Sheehan, born William Roland Sheehan in Buffalo, New York, USA.
He is only one of the most appreciated #bassist (aaaah, why there's not an emoji for bass!!!) in the world. Sheehan became popular within the hard rock and heavy metal scene 🤟of the 80s for being one of the most in demand sessionman and recording artist, in particular he collaborated for long time with #vocalist / showman🎙#DavidLeeRoth and guitar hero 🎸 #SteveVai.
In the 90s he was a founder and member of hard rock Supergroup Mr. Big (I'm sure everyone remembers them for just one song!)... 🤔 Today he is a permanent member of hard prog rock supergroup The Winery Dogs along with 2 huge masters of 🎸, #RichieKotzen, and 🥁, #MikePortnoy.
Here's a remarkable 😳😱 live guitar/bass solo by the duo Sheehan / Vai. In the Chat Room 👇I post 2 songs of #MrBig and The #WineryDogs: of course you can post your favorite ones 😃
