History
	Billy Halterman is the leader of the Wild South Band. Billy's style reflects the heart of country music, evocative of an era long before his time. Billy, growing up no stranger to country music in rural Polk County, FL developed a passion for the sounds of such artists as George Strait, Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley, and many more from the era of classic country giving Billy’s music an influence firmly rooted in that traditional country sound. While taking his inspiration from traditional country, Billy seamlessly blends classic and today’s country into one exciting show.
As one of Nashville’s most talented newcomers, Billy delivers country music that speaks to the hearts of old and new fans alike. One phrase constantly heard by the fans at Billy’s show is ‘That’s the way country music is supposed to sound!’ Billy's interest in music came at an early age and with his natural singing ability, it was only a matter of time before he picked up the art of singing country music. Billy began to seriously follow the career of his idol and hero, George Strait and to this day you can still hear a little bit of George Strait's inspiration in Billy's voice.
