About
Bill grew up along the New Jersey shore and is influenced by the great R&B bands that worked the circuit. He has played with various coverbands, performing before crowds from Wildwood to Bergenfield. He stills performs with several bands but has struck out on his own offering is Live Sax Show (that's with an A). All joking aside he came up with the name because he sings and plays to pre-recorded tracks, but the singing and sax playing is live. This means he can provide the sound of a full band with just one person, and takes up a minimal footprint in any venue. He uses a column array speaker, which again, provides wide coverage while taking up minimal space. Bill's music ranges from hits of the 60's through 80's. Covered artists range from Dion to Christopher Cross and Amy Winehouse.
Fun Trivia: Bill started his career as a Television News anchor man and reporter, later working in radio, so he can also provide Emcee services. He recently retired after 28 years at his last job and is now devoting his time to entertaining with his music, and some freelance voiceover work.

Influences and inspiration
Growing up along the New Jersey shore a saxophone player cannot help but be influenced by Clarence Clemons. I also found inspiration in the horn section of Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. Other influences include King Curtis, Jr. Walker, Red Prysock, Big Jay McNeely, Lee Allen, and a slew of others. Vocally, influence by Top 40 radio from the 60's and 70's, John Lyon, Bruce Springsteen, but I try to sound like myself. ;)
