The Bills

The Bills

From the beautiful West Coast of Canada comes this extraordinary quintet, renowned among fans of all ages for their instrumental virtuosity,
lush vocal arrangements, exuberant live performances, evocative songwriting, and a refreshing sound that transcends musical boundaries
and defies simple categorization.

Strings, bellows, keys, voices, skin and bows these are the vehicles for the Bills' unique sonic approach. With individual band members
sporting world-class credentials in folk/roots, jazz, classical and world music, The Bills truly are a Canadian acoustic music supergroup.

The Bills' often-collaborative originals (four band members contribute in various combinations) coax sublime beauty, energy and rhythm
out of their instruments and layered vocal harmonies. You'll hear the influences of global roots and rock alongside hints of Chopin,
Stan Rogers and Django Reinhardt. But you'll ultimately hear The Bills, doing the magical thing that they do.

A Bills live show is a legendary experience. Since forming in 1996, the band has delighted theatre and festival audiences from Copenhagen
to California, thrilling fans with their breathtaking musical explorations and their unscripted onstage wit and charm.
In 2006 the band was voted Western Canadian Entertainer of the Year.

Whether spinning on your recorded playlist, entertaining an intimate theatre audience or rocking a festival crowd of 10,000, these five gifted
multi-instrumentalists are masters at somehow leaving listeners breathless and revitalized all at once.
