"Their sound is panoramic, mischievous, fiercely unpretentious - and musically splendid" - Boston Globe

The Bills make people feel good with their music. Simple as that.  Young or old.  Trad or Alt. The band is Canada's West Coast acoustic roots music powerhouse, and they have a way of turning everyone on to the limitless possibilities of their instruments and voices.  Strings, bellows, voices, keys, skin and bows - these are the vehicles for the Bills' irresistible joyride.

It's easiest to label The Bills an important voice in the current folk/roots movement, but this uber-musical quintet transcends categories and sonic boundaries.  This is music for the ages, all the ages – for everyone in your audience.  Music that draws upon the most soulful and intellectual sonic elements to create something that is uniquely West Coast Canadian - songs that bring together broad global influences to create poetry, melody, harmony and groove that speak clearly of Canada’s Pacific coast.

"Probably the best live act I have ever seen" - Maverick Magazine, UK

The Bills' live shows are legendary for their exuberance, power, virtuosity and sheer entertainment.  Their recorded work carries all the same tratis: they've been recognized through two JUNO nominations, two Western Canadian Music Awards and countless positive media and fan reviews.  The band plans to tour North America and Western Europe in 2013/2014.

"The biggest blast of fresh air to come out of Canada since The Band" - Glasgow Herald

Their latest release, Yes Please, features some of The Bills' finest songwriting to date.  Your audiences will hear the influences of North American roots, folk, rock, maritime fiddle, bluegrass, cajun, romany and Brazilian choro traditions.  You'll also hear traces of Chopin, Stan Rogers and Django Reinhardt.  But you'll ultimately hear The Bills, doing the magical thing that they do.
