With over 40 years of music making, Billy Mata & The Texas Tradition bring their authentic Western Swing to dancehalls all across Texas, with true traditional country music. Billy started his recording career in the 1970’s, singing Billboard charted, Top 40 Country music. He has been named Academy of Western Artists Western Swing Vocalist of the Year three times and has received the Academy’s Entertainer of the Year Award.
Billy’s career jump started as a featured singer with Tommy Morrell and the Time Warp Top Hands on Larry Scott’s syndicated radio show, The Lincoln County Cowboy Symposium of the Air. That lead to guest appearances with the Texas Playboys featuring Tommy Allsup and Leon Rausch. From there, Billy was invited to perform at the West Texas Western Swing Festival in Snyder, Texas and following that, at the Lincoln County Cowboy Symposium in Ruidoso, New Mexico, where now he is invited to entertain annually. He has gone on to become the heir apparent to the Bob Wills tradition as the Voice of Western Swing.
