Billy Sawilchik is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on July 28, 1971 in Oak Lawn, Illinois, United States. Born to Rich and Beverly Sawilchik, Billy is the second to youngest of his two brothers and older sister. At the age of 12, he taught himself to play guitar. He attended St Laurence High School then, Illinois State University where he majored in Business Marketing and Advertising. His first band was called EZ Access. In college he joined the band 9 Arms – a five person band with a one armed drummer. During a show with 9 Arms the original line up of Swinging Lovehammers (Marty Casey, Dino Kourelis, Bob Kourelis and Ben Kelly) recruited him to play a set with them at a house party. In May 1994 he left 9 Arms and officially joined Swinging Lovehammers. Upon first entering the band, he split guitar duties with bandmate and guitarist Ben Kelly until his departure in
- Sawilchik then became and remained the band’s only lead guitarist. Swinging Lovehammers officially changed their name to The Lovehammers in August 2001.
In the summer of 2005 The Lovehammers took a short hiatus while their lead singer, Marty Casey entered the reality television singing competition Rockstar: INXS wherein INXS searched for a replacement lead singer for their reunion. Billy Sawilchik supported Casey in his endeavor and was even spotted on television in the audience during one of Casey’s performances. When Casey was named runner up, INXS invited The Lovehammers to play as the opening band on their tour. The Lovehammers (who had always been an indie band) were immediately signed to the Sony/Epic label where they released a new full- length CD under the moniker Marty Casey & Lovehammers. The album was composed mostly of re-recordings and re-workings of old songs from their other indie releases with the exception of one song, “Casualty”. The new disc was well received for the most part. Although some critics claimed that major label production had erased some of the signature raw energy of The Lovehammers, the album reviews had been largely favorable, although a less stellar review cited Sawilchik’s performance as a great contribution to the album’s sound, referring to him as a “capable axeman”. They were a featured artist on VH1.com and performed a short acoustic set for VH1’s VSpot. In 2006, The Lovehammers headlined their own North American tour, dubbing it ‘Get Live’. The Lovehammers are still on Sony/Epic.
