About Billy Raffoul
Billy Raffoul is a singer-songwriter from the small farming town of Leamington, Ontario. Raffoul“s debut single, “Driver”“ serves as an introduction into his signature sound is a rough-hewn, low-timbered rock and roll that nods to the likes of Jeff Buckley, Neil Young, and Joe Cocker, and is powered by Raffoul“s gravelly, soulful voice and deeply felt lyrics.
His love for music started growing up with his solo musician father, Jody Raffoul, and his artistic mother. Raffoul explains, “I find myself going back to moments of time from the past, picking apart these little experiences and building them into bigger things. I want people to know that the songs are genuine, that they’ve been lived in.”“
Raffoul is set to tour this November in support of his first EP, 1975.
