“A sense of mystery and majesty.” — No Depression
Billy Wylder is an art-rock band led by Avi Salloway, blending interlocking rhythms, soaring electric guitar, violin, and electronics into a global–psych sound rooted in groove and transformation. Shaped by deep American folk traditions and years of international touring with Tuareg guitar hero Bombino, the band creates music where art-rock, folk, and desert blues collide.
Across more than 1,500 performances on six continents—including Coachella, New Orleans Jazz Fest, Carnegie Hall, and Lincoln Center—Salloway has developed a reputation for performances that are immersive, unifying, and constantly evolving.
“Art rock band Billy Wylder carry the torch of the niche dug out by Talking Heads and their groundbreaking album Remain in Light.” — WBUR
