October 11, 2026Lovely entertainment!!
Bill came to perform at our surprise birthday party, which was a backyard event. He came early to set up and practice and even started playing earlier than the original requested time and stayed later too. The music was amazing, he is such a great performer and really understood the vibe of the event. People were up dancing, and he played a good mix of oldies and some newer stuff as well. Many people at the party mentioned that they loved the music and it really made the party! Thank you Bill for a lovely evening of entertainment 😄

September 24, 2024Awesome music!
I would highly recommend Bill Nadeau & the 21st Century Binary Backup Band for your event.
Bill was a hit at our all ages community celebration. A great repertoire of hits from many decades had our guests singing along, tapping their toes, and some dancing! Professional, witty, punctual. We'd love to hire Bill again for another event.

Hi Katie!

Gig length: 60 - 240 minutes
What to expect
I am a professional guitarist, Singer, particularly proficient in rock blues guitar and vocals but with a great range to include Motown, Adult contemporary and pop/rock.
I play to backtracks and have a songlist that is memorized (no reading off books or the computer) that consists of hundreds of songs ranging from Stevie Wonder, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Sting - and that's just some of the "S's"!
Anyone who is a fan of blues guitar will be particularly interested in my show as the backtracks frees me up to do what I do best!
About
My job is to reflect well upon you, your guests, and your event and ensuring I have the tools to do so in the many different circumstances that arise as an entertainer. Whether I am at your home or in a venue, you can be sure I'll be there with the right approach and the equipment and musical variety to make your event special.
My show is quite appropriate for dinner, cocktails and can be ramped up to finish the night with dancing to upbeat, danceable songs that can be upfront in a party atmosphere.
For weddings, as the "alternative Entertainment", where the DJ plays the big room and I provide something for people not so predisposed to typical DJ sounds and songlists.
Additional booking notes
A single 110v outlet is all I need - If the event is outside (hopefully we are talking summer here) cover would be appreciated and foul weather contingencies are always a good idea.
I can provide a Generator/converter for remote locations.
