Billy Sherwood

City Winery NYC presents Billy Sherwood live on Saturday, May 10th at 7:00 PM! Billy Sherwood is a well known music industry mainstay as a Bassist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer. He is highly respected as a Grammy nominated producer of iconic artists across countless genres. Besides the diverse collection of albums under his own name, Sherwood has been integral to a host of Prog-fan faves; Lodgic (his first band, produced by Toto), World Trade, Circa: (Alan White & Tony Kaye of YES), Conspiracy (Chris Squire & Alan White of YES), Yoso (Bobby Kimball of Toto & Tony Kaye of YES), Citizen, Prog Collective, and John Wetton's Raised In Captivity. Billy is widely known for his work with YES. Chris Squire, bassist & founding member of the progrock legends, reached out to Billy after hearing his World Trade demos. What followed was a prolific, decades long musical relationship. YES’ album Union (1991) featured The More We Live-Let Go, Sherwood’s first co-write with Squire. Billy subsequently mixed, or produced, several YES albums, becoming a bandmember by the mid-90s. in 2015, an ailing Chris Squire asked Billy to take his place within YES as bass player. Squire’s trust in Sherwood to be keeper of the flame, was a testament to their friendship and the respect Chris had for Billy to carry on as bass player. The impact of Billy’s ongoing YES history, and the baton passed by Chris, is reflected in the incredible love & support from the global fan base. 2025 brings the debut of Billy Sherwood & Friends, with drummer Scott Connor, John Thomas on guitars & Scott Walton on keys. The setlist features solo material, tracks from his various bands, songwriting collaborations, and of course, YES material. As a special treat for the fans, they will perform excerpts from Chris Squire’s signature album Fish Out Of Water. This tour as a musical adventure that runs the length of Billy's wide and varied career.
