Anna
Marie White was born in Bronx, NY and grew up in Florida
where she began acting and singing. She worked for nearly a decade
at The Walt Disney World Company, and her career led her into an
impressive amount of television, stage, band and theater work. Anna
had roles in many stage productions including Bye Bye Birdie, The
Sound Of Music, Annie Get Your Gun, and Brigadoon. Now a resident
of Syracuse, we are fortunate to have Anna in the Billionaires to
showcase her lovely voice. In a typical Billionaires performance,
Anna will treat you to the music and vocal stylizations of Whitney
Houston, Cheryl Lynn, Faith Hill, Etta James, and many others.
Rob
Hoston, an original member of Windsong, now guitarist
and vocalist of the Billionaires is a veteran of the Syracuse music
scene. He spent five years in Los Angeles, CA playing showcases,
songwriting, and seeking a recording contract. Rob worked as a professional
musician, doing extensive recording in L.A. and locally. His solo
CD, "Until That Time" was released in 1996. Rob's guitar
influences include Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Robben Ford, and Buddy
Guy. His Vocal influences range from the stylings of Marvin Gaye,
Sting, Sinatra, Bennet, and Pendergrass. His versatility in both
guitar and vocals have trademarked Windsong's sound for over 13
years.

Rhys Brigida, a founding member of
Windsong, and is now keyboardist for the Billionaires . He enjoys
playing all keyboard and synth instruments, but always feels at
home on the piano. Prior, he worked throughout the Northeast in
bands such as Timepiece and Foreplay, covering an impressive array
of classic rock, R&B, and British Invasion tunes. Some of Rhys's
favorite players are Bill Payne, Marian McPartland, Bill Evans,
George Duke, and Ray Manzarek.
Greg Price is originally from Boston,
having moved to Syracuse in 1991. In his relatively short time in
Central NY, this extraordinary bass player / vocalist has played
and recorded with some of the best acts around including Roosevelt
Dean, Prime Time, The Critics, Sharp Dressed Penguins, the Miss
E. Band, and Windsong.
Daryl Hunt is an outstanding drummer.
Originally from Utica and now residing in Oswego, Daryl fits in
perfectly with the Billionaires because of his simple, effective
philosophy about playing music. (quote) "Just groove it. 95%
of the countless people I've played with appreciate it." One
of Daryl's favorite drummers, Herrman Matthews of Tower Of Power
has the same style and approach. |
