About Bill Leverty

Bill Leverty (born January 30, 1967) is an American guitarist currently a member of the hard rock band FireHouse. Leverty was born in Richmond, Virginia. His parents gave him a guitar when he was 4 years old, but when he grew up he put it aside and took up diving and ice hockey instead. When he was 15 years old, he took up the guitar again, and studied music theory in high school. Later on, he started a band called White Heat. Auditioning for a drummer, he met Michael Foster and was impressed with him. Some time later, they hooked up with C.J. Snare and Perry Richardson, and formed FireHouse. One day, Leverty got an endorsement deal with Yamaha Guitar Development and has been playing them since. On July 4th 2006 GREM USA announced that Leverty signed an exclusive endorsement with the guitar manufacturer. GREM guitars produced "The Bill Leverty Free Radical" guitar and presented it to Leverty in July. After 15 years with FireHouse, Bill released his first solo album. Bill is still a fan of ice hockey, and specifically the Detroit Red Wings.
