Hector, who grew up in Orange, NJ, got his first taste of the blues from the Rolling Stones, whose blues-inflected rock led him back to bluesmen Muddy Waters and T-Bone Walker. From there, he discovered the more experimental rock edge of guitarists Roy Buchanan and Jimi Hendrix. After playing with several rock bands in high school and studying for two years at William Patterson College in New Jersey in the mid-'70s, he moved to Asbury Park, NJ, to become part of the burgeoning music scene there. Bruce Springsteen and Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes had already gained national attention at the Stone Pony club in Asbury Park, and in the wake of their success, Hector began playing guitar with the horn-driven Shots, which had replaced the Jukes as the house band at the Stone Pony. Hector felt too much in the background in the Shots, so he decided to move on. He joined the band Hot Romance, which became the house band at Mrs. Jay's, a biker bar next to the Stone Pony, in Asbury Park. By the mid-'80s, he formed the Fairlanes, a blues-rock group (featuring his wife as its lead singer) that broke before the popularity of Stevie Ray Vaughan. They recorded Hit the Road in 1987 and All the Way Live in 1989 for his label Blue Jersey. Discovering that other bands in the U.S. shared the same band name, Hector decided to drop it and started calling his group the Billy Hector Band. In 2000, Hector took hold of two golden opportunities. He performed with Sonny Landreth at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in tribute to Delta bluesman Robert Johnson for footage in the film documentary Hellhounds on My Trail. He also shared the stage there with Bonnie Raitt in a "Tribute to Muddy Waters."
