Introduction: I play/sing acoustic covers of classic rock (Tom Petty, Eagles, Beatles, etc) and late 90's pop (Matchbox 20, Oasis, Green Day, REM...), and I do not use any backing tracks or looping (just guitar and vocals). My style allows me to be very versatile, whether you need low volume background music for a corporate event, or up-beat high energy for a backyard party! I have a full PA and lightning (if needed) that works for almost any event, I have a clean setup, and I can even take live request during the show via the app MySongList. I have been blessed with being able to support myself and my family by entertaining people doing what I love, singing and playing guitar :-)

Bill was a total hit at our party! We were celebrating our wedding and he was the perfect musical entertainment! Not only did my husband and I love his style, but all our guests as well. He plays a great range of music and has an amazing voice! We will call him again to book at any other party that w can use live entertainment at! Thanks again Bill for making our celebration even more fun, you were amazing!!

Had a birthday party for my wife's 40th with just a few couples and had Bill play some acoustic songs and sing. I even gave him some recommendations on some of my wife's favorite songs. Not only did he practice them all week to be prepared but my wife loved the whole set list. He listens to instructions very well and went above and beyond the expectations. I will use him again in a second. I paid what I thought was very fair. Great job Bill, Thanks again.

FAQs

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
This is a rewarding profession, in most cases. Even though musicians like me are only playing a 2-4 hour performance, many customers are unaware there are countless hours spent weekly on rehearsals, vocal exercises, equipment maintenance, song research, marketing, and much more.
