Billy Rowe formed his first band, Jetboy, in San Francisco not too long after getting out of high school, and he hasn’t looked back since. By the mid ‘80s, Jetboy had relocated to Los Angeles and were at the forefront of the second wave of Sunset Strip bands – among them Guns N’ Roses, Poison, L.A. Guns and Faster Pussycat – taking the scene by storm, and within a few years they had signed to major label Elektra Records and released their debut album, Feel the Shake.
After Jetboy disbanded Rowe soon found a new calling – building guitars. In the 2000s, he started Rock N Roll Relics, and has today grown it into one of the most respected boutique builders in the industry. Among the list of musicians playing Billy’s instruments include Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong, R.E.M.’s Peter Buck, Paul Stanley, Keith Urban, Tracii Guns from L.A. Guns, the legendary Glen Campbell, and one of our favorites here on Rock Recovery – Ryan Roxie with Alice Cooper.
Billy shares his personal story of loss and redemption and how he turned his life around through finding a new passion.
