Minneapolis rocker Billy Johnson released his first album as a leader, entitled Billy Johnson's Roadshow, in 2001. Since the mid-'90s he has been associated with the Hillcats, a Twin Cities quartet that combines rockabilly and funk with vocal harmonies courtesy of three out of four bandmembers. When the temperature gets above zero and people leave their homes in Minneapolis, the band does quite well on club engagements.

We first heard Billy and Angie at a fundraising show they did to support a local nonprofit, Walking With A Purpose MN. Billy and Angie are brother and sister, and they are an incredible duo! Their harmonies are tight and beautiful to listen to. They are fun and they have hearts of gold as they raised several thousand dollars for Walking With A Purpose to help the homeless in our community. – Dan and Kathy Mathews
