Local NW Indiana band featuring Survivor's Billy O on vocals/bass and Chris Grove on keys, :wink: Karp on drums and Zeke on guitar.

Billy O has a hell of a voice. Unfortunately these videos don't do justice to his many talents.

It's a shame that there is a need for great musicians like Billy O and Grovester who are members of Survivor to have to try to supplement income that recording and touring at a full schedule pace WITH Survivor would provide.

billy's a great entertainer, I just didn't know he could sing. cool! A local dj here was telling me about him cause he knew him. He grew up where he did and was going on and on about how talented he is.

Billy O is probably Survivor's best kept secret. He could sing the phone book and sound great! He is so down to earth, just a great guy. He is not caught up in the "rock star"persona just loves to sing and play. Yes, he could be the "frontman" for Survivor and would probably be more accepted than Robin, even though Robin is a great guy also.

yeah, it's sad he's stuck in a bar somewhere playing, at least with Survivor he can do alittle bigger gigs. But there are alot of talented artists out there that just don't get discovered, or make it Really Big Time, know what I mean? Chris is really talented too and a sweetheart.
