Bio

Country Rock for Hard Workin¹ Folk!

Billy Croft & The 5-Alarm is a red hot smokin' country rock band! With music from the best of current country rock legends like The Eagles and Kenny Chesney, to the classics of George Strait or Elvis Presley, to their own "countrified" versions of music by the Beatles, B-52s, Aerosmith and others, Billy Croft & the 5-Alarm will leave you begging for more. If you've got a dance floor, consider it filled! Born and raised in Illinois' Fox River Valley, Billy Croft had a boot planted firmly in Nashville for many years, where he developed close ties to industry elite performers, songsmiths and producers. A 1998 rebuilding mission to Honduras, following Hurricane Mitch, showed Billy the
power of music to heal and inspire. On returning to Chicago, he formed a popular Christian rock band, "Unified", with which he recorded 2 CDs, and where he also met his current bandmates. Their song ³It Started with a Child² remains in rotation on Christian radio during the holiday season.

Billy's commitment to service lead him to became a fireman; his love of music to form Billy Croft & The 5-Alarm, to bring rockin' good fun to everyone around them. Billy Croft & The 5-Alarm: An outstanding choice for nite clubs, festivals, fundraisers, and corporate events.... wherever there¹s hard workin¹ folk lookin¹ to party!
