Billy Mata & The Texas Tradition provides entertainment for true country music traditionalists as well as a new generation of Western Swing enthusiasts. Billy has been performing 30 years for audiences. His followers and enthusiasts range from traditional Honky Tonk listeners to Western Swing dancers. No matter who the audience is, all enjoy the energy and spirit of the musical talent of the performance.
The band is made up of some of Texas' strongest professional musicians with a combination of more than 165 years of musical experience. This includes strong lead vocals by Billy Mata and features true country fiddles, honky tonk steel guitar and true Western Swing style electric guitar that would make Eldon Shamblin proud. The guitar, bass and drums rhythm section are the 'real deal' - making it almost impossible to sit down when you could be dancing. The style of music played is from Bob Wills, Johnny Bush, Mel Tillis, Ray Price, as well as the popular sounds of Asleep at the Wheel, Jerry Jeff Walker, Robert Earl Keen, and many more!
Billy has also made several guest appearances with the Texas Playboys at Western Swing Festivals in Nocona & Snyder, Texas and Hobbs & Ruidoso, New Mexico.
