February 4, 2026Bill didn’t just perform — he turned my two-year-old’s birthday into a full-on mini concert! He entertained the adults, got the kids laughing (and singing), and even gave them quick harmonica lessons. The kids were obsessed with his fun originals like “Picking Blueberries” and “There’s a Spider in the Corner” — it was like a sing-along birthday party wrapped in giggles, And thanks Bill for accommodating a last minute venue change.

September 18, 2025Bill came and entertained our Senior Adults. Bill showed up when he said he would. We all had a great time. Had a lot of laughs, enjoyed hearing him sing and tell jokes. I would recommend him to any group.

October 18, 2018Bill did a great job for us! We arranged a special sendoff for one of our corporate executives and Bill's songs filled with humor and wit were perfect for the occasion. Bill even went the extra mile by customizing some lyrics to personalize the song for the guest of honor and he even worked with another executive on a song which they sang together as part of the tribute. Great Job!
