Legendary in the bars and court rooms, Billy Beale has since been released from prison after serving a sentence for DUIs. Upon his release, he has begun a new chapter in his life which includes the pursuit of happiness and the preservation of the traditional American music.

Billy Beale: Kansas City Blues Preservationist with a career spanning 4 decades and counting.

He’s developed his own signature sound using his “nasty ass slide”: a 1949 hollow-body Kay with a P-90 pickup that he plays with a 50-caliber machine-gun shell casing on his finger. (He also plays a 1953 Silvertone lap steel with a traditional Stevens brass slide.) Beale’s blues is the kind that roared from the old midtown speakeasies that now house the gritty bars he plays. ~Berry Anderson

“The life of the american blues man is flavored with tales of whoa, heartbreak, running afoul of the law, hard drinking and hard living. KC's own Billy Beale, with his known love of Crown Royal, his raspy croon, and his repertoire of blues songs, has lived a life no less colorful than those of the great american blues musicians.” ~Dennis Rich
