Band Info

Billy D and the Hoodoos are a musical group from Portland, Oregon, U.S. Born on the south side of Chicago, Billy Desmond grew up influenced by early rock music and blues. Billy began his career playing professionally at teen dances and parties at the age of fourteen, and by eighteen he was sneaking in Chicago blues clubs to hear greats like Muddy Waters, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy and James Cotton. Eventually, Billy would work with Wells and other blues legends such as Big Time Sarah, Robert Cray and Detroit Junior, among others.

The mid-1990s found Billy in Santa Fe, New Mexico, focusing on developing his original music. About this time, Billy D and the HooDoos materialized. They were the opening act for Los Lonely Boys and Robert Cray at the KTAO 2003 Annual Solar Fest in New Mexico, and his original song, "She's The One", was then voted the number one song by a local area artist.

Billy's unique style transcends traditional blues music: “My main Electric Axe is a Suhr—custom made by a guy named John Suhr who was out of California when I got the guitar about 8 years ago. It's a Telecaster style body—both body and neck are made of mahogany—with a rosewood fingerboard with simple dot inlay. I love Humbuckers—the neck pickup is a Rio Grande "Texas Humbucker" and the bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan "Hotrail", which is a squished double-coil that fits perfectly into a cutout originally designed for a single-coil. I use the Rio Grande most of the time 'cuz I love that fat mellow singing tone.”
