Big Zephyr is a flexible, live music company that provides a wide variety of live music for all types of events. The band can shrink to just one musician or expand to eight, depending on the client’s needs. Big Zephyr’s distinction is powerful vocal performances, supported by dynamic backup harmonies. The band performs rock, country, pop, RnB, Motown, disco, funk, and more, covering hits from 1950-present.
William Babin has been playing drums his entire life. He started at age 10 and quickly began playing professionally in New Orleans throughout high school and in college. After earning his M.A. in English and beginning a family in 1980, drumming took a back seat to martial arts. For over 40 years, he has trained in Taekwondo and currently holds the rank of 8th degree black belt, Chief Master Instructor. He never left drumming behind, and continued visiting jam sessions and subbing in bands that needed a drummer.
By 2005, the itch to get more serious took over and he started Big Zephyr. The band has played continuously since that time, performing at festivals, events, and resorts all over Arizona. Big Zephyr released its first cd, OUR CHRISTMAS, in 2017.
