Billie Joe Armstrong

Billie Joe Armstrong is the frontman and guitarist for four-time Grammy award-winning rock band Green Day. Originally hailed as punk revivalists blindsiding the mainstream from the margins, Green Day has become one of rock’s sturdiest institutions, a band whose sound threads the three-chords-and-a-head-rush excitement that runs through everything from East bay punk, power pop, 60s garage and hard rock. The band, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2015, has released thirteen studio albums to date including the Diamond-selling Dookie, punk rock opera album turned Broadway musical American Idiot and their latest album Father of All… which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Rock Albums and #4 on the Billboard 200, resulting in the band’s 11th US Top-10 album. Outside of Green Day, Billie Joe also fronts The Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Longshot, and The Coverups. In 2013, he teamed with jazz singer and pianist Norah Jones in a project to re-create the classic 1958 Everly Brothers album Songs Our Daddy Taught Us that they titled Foreverly. Earlier this year Armstrong launched The No Fun Mondays series in quarantine. The series sees Armstrong putting his signature melodic-punk spin on the songs that have formed the soundtrack to his life, including classics by John Lennon, Billy Bragg, and Johnny Thunders. No Fun Mondays will be released as an LP on November 27th.
