CLICK HERE FOR INFORMATION ON THE ACOUSTIC ARMADABilly Hector.....For nearly 30 years, Suzan Lastovica has been the partner of legendary Jersey Shore blues guitarist Billy Hector. They’ve performed together, written dozens of songs together, and shared Lastovica’s lengthy battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Now, advances in medicine may make it possible for Lastovica to eventually walk without the aid of crutches. Her friends and fellow musicians have banded together for a Nov. 8 benefit at The Headliner, Route 35 South in Neptune, aimed at raising enough money for Lastovica to avail herself of the new medical treatments and help her get “back on her feet,” as the benefit flier says. Performers will include Holme; plus Hector, who will be part of an all-star jam with Bob Bandiera, Sonny Kenn, Kenny “Stringbean” Sorenson, Matt O’Ree and Vini “Mad Dog” Lopez; The Mango Brothers; The Juggling Suns; The Gashouse Gorillas and Donny Erdman and Best Kept Secret. Front man Billy Hector has twice received the Best Guitarist Award from music critic Bob Makin of the East Coast Rocker who states, "Billy plays with guts and displays some of the best chops you'll see anywhere."Billy and his band shared billing with Bonnie Raitt at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "Tribute to Muddy Waters". Raitt afterwards said the beauty of Hector's sound brought tears to her eyes. Billy recently took home 3 Asbury Park Music Awards for "Best Guitarist", "Best Blues Band" and the "Living Legend Award". Early on in his career, Hector identified himself as a versatile player with a smooth and a dynamic style all his own. He began playing in The Shots, The Stone Pony's R & B house band. Hector then went on to form Hot Romance, a band whose original songs received airplay on New York radio station WNEW-FM. As lead guitarist for The Fairlanes, a 5 piece blues rock band, Hector co-wrote and released 3 independent recordings on the Blue Jersey label which received both a healthy amount of airplay and critical acclaim. Regrouping as a power trio for the past ten years, the BILLY HECTOR Band includes drummer Dan Hickey and bass player Winston Roye (Bernie Worrell, Nile Rodgers, Herbie Hancock). With thirty years of performing under his belt, Billy Hector is recognized as one of the hottest guitarists and songwriters playing the original circuit and serves up what more than one reviewer has called "one of the best shows you'll ever see".
