Billy Dalton grew up listening to and playing bluegrass music in the late 70's and early '80's. After stints playing guitar with area bluegrass bands, he was bitten by the songwriting bug after attending a concert by legendary folk artist Nanci Griffith. Billy now performs regionally with his wife and co-writer Lynn Dalton. Their music has been described as "folk and Americana colliding with style". Billy has described his late start to songwriting as his "mid life crisis" and has collaborated on songs which have achieved recognition by such organizations as Billboard, Country Music Television(CMT), and the Austin (TX) Songwriters Group.
