Band History:
Balti-Billys are:
Richard Stone: Guitar & vocals
Richard started his professional career in Little Royal & the Swingmasters doing soul music on the chitlin' circuit. He moved to Country & Western playing in Tex Rubinowitz & the Casaloma Cowboys. Then hooked up with Hammerin' Hank in Hurricane Dixie, and the Redeemers. Richard's best gig was backing up the legendary Otis Blackwell (songwriter: All Shook Up, Don't Be Cruel, Return to Sender, Great Balls of Fire, etc.) While with Otis, Richard worked with Dale in The Restless Angels, cutting several originals tunes still in the repetoire today.
Hank Burnett: Drums & vocals
Washington D.C. Raised on Wilson Pickett, the Stones, Deep Purple, and Bob Seeger. Some of Hank’s early bands were “God Mother Country” and “The Kid Band.” Hank played in the house band at Millersville Inn (Hurricane Dixie) with Richard, and they later joined up with singer songwriter Mark Mansfield to form the “Redeemers.” Two albums followed. Hank spent some time with the Soul review “The Jim Price Band.” He also played the tux\casino circuit with the “Wild Bunch”.
Dale Shifflett: Bass & vocals
Dale cut his teeth with Cashmere, a versatile group playing rock-n-roll, country, and jazz, who backed up "The Platters". Dale was also in one of the Baltimore/DC area's top country bands called Pryzm, an energetic country band with a major kick. Pryzm won the MD State Fair/WPOC battle of the bands. They performed as the opening act for Tammy Wynette, Crystal Gayle, Lionel Cartwright, and Charlie Pride. Later, Dale met Hank & Richard at Millersville Inn during their Hurricane Dixie days. Many nights were spent in recording studios trying new sounds & musical concepts.
