    Closer to the Heart: Honoring Rush with Billy Alexander of YYNOT

    🎧 Episode 4 In this episode of Borrowed Notes, Authentic Lives, Karyn Rosenberg sits down with Billy Alexander — songwriter, producer, and guitarist of the Rush tribute band YYNOT — for a thoughtful conversation about influence, evolution, and what it really means to carry a musical legacy forward. Billy shares how his passion for music began at a young age, shaped early on by bands like Kiss and Rush. What started as admiration eventually became identity, guiding him not only into tribute performance, but into writing and producing original music of his own. Together, Karyn and Billy explore the emotional and technical demands of playing Rush live, the importance of authenticity on stage, and why YYNOT is committed to performing without backing tracks. They talk about camaraderie within the band, the creative flow behind songwriting, and how balancing music with real life keeps everything grounded. Billy also reflects on his upcoming single, “Enemy,” a song that explores themes of human connection and understanding, and offers encouragement to aspiring musicians navigating their own path. This conversation honors Rush’s legacy through a Rush tribute band YYNOT while celebrating the ongoing journey of creating music that feels both borrowed and deeply personal. https://www.instagram.com/b1gtralexander/ https://www.instagram.com/yynotband/ https://www.billyalexander.net https://www.facebook.com/billyalexandermusic https://www.facebook.com/YYNOTBAND
