Billy Iuso is an accomplished, professional musician β a soulful songwriter, a dynamic vocalist and a powerful guitarist β whose time has arrived. Though still in his 30s, the New Orleans-based performer has been a bandleader for more than 20 years, and as such, his musicianship and abilities have a certain polish and maturity that true music aficionados look for in artists. As he moves into 2007, leading the critically-acclaimed Restless Natives, itβs clear that Iuso possesses that special something to take his band to the next level β an "it" factor that cannot simply be acquired.
