I have had the pleasure of utilizing the outstanding talents of Billy Rogan for multiple events at The Hotel Dylan over the past 8 years and every time he exceeds the expectations of both my staff and our audiences. Billy not only demonstrates exceptional skills & versatility in his playing, but also the ability to respond to the audience with the selections he performs. He constantly delivers memorable performances and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure connection with everyone in the room.

October 26, 2025Perfect entertainer for our Rotary event
We were all very happy with the wide selection of music (from standard tune to jazz and classics) and the atmosphere Billy added to our Rotary event with his talent . A couple attending the event upon hearing him hired Billy to perform for their wedding.

Billy is one of the best guitarists I've ever known. His solo acoustic performances are captivating without being kitchy, and his virtuosity shines through every time he performs. He is a great communicator, easy to schedule with, and a lovely person to talk to! I would book him 10 out of 10 times for any solo guitar performance needs.
