What a great night - there are things we did that I will take with me and use in other shows - you folks made the night and I felt like a welcome guest - thanks again!
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!
What a kind review. Thanks for your hospitality, your review and of course for the great gig.
I am glad you had such a big and enthusiastic turnout for your mom. She was obviously loved.
Bill played at our mix n mingle party for my wife's B Day and as always he was the hit of the party and kept our guests entertained with his exceptional talents of guitar playing, vocals and of course his interaction with guests. Looking forward to the next time we cross paths

We had Bill play my Mom's 60th Surprise Birthday last night and WOW! He was absolutely great, he played the whole night, his voice and skill on the guitar were impeccable. Bill had all of us dancing and even some of our neighbours came over to join the party because the music was SO Good! It was exactly what I envisioned for the night and my Mom had such a great time and Bill is a big part of that. By the end of the night, I could say we consider Bill family! We will definitely keep Bill's information and would have him come play again! Thank you Bill!!

Response from Bill Nadeau & the 21st Century Binary Backup Band:
Thanks Kathryn! - And thanks to your family and friends for making me feel such a part of the event - Happy Birthday Patricia!
Bill showed up early, played a wonderful jazz set throughout our dinner and then slowly took it up to a fevered pitch of dancing and singalongs! He stayed and played until we could dance no more!
I would highly recommend Bill for any function. He really knows how to please a crowd, upbeat or down low.
One Man Band
Neighbors have been calling & dropping by all day to tell me this years (16th annual) street party was their favorite - despite the pouring rain. Bill was a true professional & played in the rain while we danced & sang along. What could have been a disaster event for us turned into a great evening enjoyed by everyone of all ages. Thank you Bill & we'll likely be seeing you at future events.

Response from Bill Nadeau & the 21st Century Binary Backup Band:
That you for your kind words and great hospitality. It takes much work and a good community to make a street party work like yours did and I was happy to be part of it - thanks!
Bill played at our not-for-profit agency holiday party for about 250 people. He was amazing!! Everything was perfect- he is super talented and everyone had a great time. We will definetly hire Bill again! Thank you so much!

Bill played at my mom's funeral this weekend past. My family agreed that Bill's music made a really special contribution to this family event. On very short notice he made the time to learn a song my mom loved. He also already had other songs I had hoped he might sing already as part of his repertoire. He is a great guitarist and has a good singing voice - and he is a very nice guy, it was a pleasure to work with him on this.

Bill Nadeau was found by myself during an online search. It was the best thing that could've happened for my 30th birthday bash. Upon calling Bill and getting to no his musicianship and personality I knew I couldn't have found a better guy for the job. Bill and I talked a few times before my party just to get everything sorted out. I was already excited about his guitar riffs and live show but talking to him really gave me a great feeling on the kinda person he was. A class act down to earth man that loved his job and loved making people happy.
One Man Band
I've hired Bill Nadeau on many occasions from private parties, to large family functions, and have passed on his talents to family and friends.
Watching and listening to Bill is not only a great experience, with his incredible guitar playing, he makes each performance a fun event that will keep you dancing all night long.

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.
