William Trewhella, aka Billy, aka Capt. Billy, was born in Deadwood SD and raised in Lead SD.  Billy’s father (also named Billy, aka “The Organ Grinder”) was a well-known and respected keyboard player in the Black Hills and was the primary influence in Capt. Billy’s musical career along with Lawrence Welch, Buck Owens, Buddy Rich and The Beatles.  Billy started his career along side his dad playing drums in various piano bars in the Black Hills, which soon led to playing drums in a garage band called “The Mothers Worries” at age 16 which then led to joining another band called “War Page” and playing beer bars before he was “legally” old enough to drink.
After playing in a few local bands and being payed as a professional musician (sometimes even in money!) a local guitar player said to him, “You won’t amount to crap as a drummer!”  Billy’s reply was “Thanks Jimmy Hendricks-I’ll see you down the road.”  And he did!  Many years later at a benefit show for a well-known local drummer who had died, Billy was asked to be the featured drummer and it was then that his prediction came true when the “Jimmy Hendricks Wannabe” was asked to play a tune with Billy.  After the song, the guitar player shook Billy’s hand and said “Thanks man, that was great!”
Over the years, Billy has played with a variety of local bands playing everything from country to rock.  One of these bands was the popular “Back In The Saddle Band” also known as “B.I.T.S” which played around the Hills for almost five years.  In the late 80’s, after the break up of B.I.T.S, Billy got a call from a friend in Seattle offering him a job in a road band called “Devotee”.  The band played all over the western US, Canada, Hawaii, Alaska and countries overseas.  In Taiwan, Billy learned many of the local customs including the price of a Big Mac ($6.00!) and ate local delicacies such as ducks tongue, ducks feet and octopus.  He refused the chickens butt but did enjoy the “cobra’s blood” red beer!  After another year with Devotee, Billy grew tired of the “suitcase” lifestyle and returned home to the Black Hills.  Three days later, he was hired in the band “Hired Guns” which after a few years led him to the band “Nobody Famous” featuring Kenny Putnam, Kenny Miller, JD Fiedler, Ricky Jacobsen and Chet Murray.  Nobody Famous played locally for four years with a few road trips to Wyoming, North Dakota and Oklahoma.  After the break up of Nobody Famous, Billy and Chet started a new band with Scott Smith and Mike Easton from “Price and the Dice” and Chet’s college friend Steve Stulken and called it “The Plywood Cowboys” named after the plywood cowboy cut outs from the Elk Creek Steakhouse.
Over the years Billy has had the pleasure of opening for countless national acts from both country and rock, comedians and even for Jim Neighbors!  His personal favorites were Toto, Kentucky Headhunters, Doobie Brothers and even played with a local symphony!
To this day, Billy remembers back to when he first started playing and recalls the dreams and aspirations of his youth-free beer and chicks!  “But seriously kids, it’s all about the music.  Of course the beer and chicks are the perks!”  “Got a great bunch of guys in this band and the future is so bright I have to wear bifocals!”  “Rock On !…… Twaaaang !”
