Someone once said that, after silence, music comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible. Singer/songwriter Billy Falcon's music has a way of doing just that.
As an artist uses color, Falcon uses words and music to convey life's beauty and fragility, the joy, and the heartache, the disappointment, and always, the hope.
Falcon, oft referred to as Long Island's Own, grew up in Rosedale Queens.
He signed his first record contract with a major label at age 18.
A prolific writer, he is a self-described reporter, chronicling his life experiences with poetic lyrics and stirring melodies.
Heaven's Highest Hill from the critically acclaimed Pretty Blue World album articulates the pain of having to tell his three-year old daughter that her mother had died. The rawness of the experience is captured in both the lyrics and Falcon's performance, yet the overwhelming theme of the song is the endlessness of love and the beginnings of hope.
The song, which relays Falcon's tragedy of losing his 29 year old wife to breast cancer, is extraordinarily personal and yet resonates with anyone who has experienced loss.
Power Windows, the single from the same album, and an anthem for those who have figured out what is really important and meaningful in life, was a
Top 40 hit and propelled album sales to over 350,000.
Over his career, Falcon has released eleven albums, each remaining true to his hallmark of beautifully crafted songs with lyrics that move the listener to laugh, cry, think, remember, and always, to hope.
Stevie Nicks, Cher, Manfred Mann, Sherrie Austin, and Trace Adkins have covered Falcon’s songs, amongst others.
Falcon also has co-written over a dozen cuts on the last five Bon Jovi albums, including Just Older, Last Man Standing, Everybody's Broken and I love This Town on the new Chart Topping record, Lost Highway.
Falcon has lived in Nashville for over a dozen years.
He continues to write, perform and record his own music as well as work
with BonJovi and other artists, his favorite of which is his daughter,
Rose Falcon, a gifted singer/songwriter in her own right.
Rose's debut album on Columbia Records, included the hit song Up, Up, Up which was featured in Disney’s Inspector Gadget II and remained in the number one slot on Radio Disney for over 20 consecutive weeks.
Falcon music has maintained it's authenticity, freshness, and it's significance. Like the spirit of faith, hope, and love that is his muse, Billy Falcon's music is enduring.
Billy's latest record, MADE MAN, a dozen songs with his new band, the Falcones, is something he's truly excited about. We hope you will be also!
