The Official Billy Bauer Band Website

"The Billy Bauer Band is on a sure path of success which is only getting brighter each calendar year, touting performances on NBC 10, opening up for OAR and Uncle Kracker (just to name a few notable performances). This acoustical band is destined on a path to notoriety and NOTHING is going to stop them from achieving any goals they set."

The opening act was...Billy Bauer band, playing as an acoustic guitar-and-violin duo of Bauer and Chris Lorenzetti.

Their sparse instrumentation ended up being stark when called for, but also rich and dynamic, as well.

In an eight-song set, the duo found the right balance on every song, playing sharp and nuanced. Even when the closing “Better Days” finished with a cacophony of the two instruments, with Bauer’s voice punching through it, it was compelling stuff.

Bauer says he didn't intend on being a musician. That changed when he bought an acoustic guitar, and following the advice of his father, he turned sorrow into songwriting.
"His last words to me were: And Billy keep playing acoustic guitar, you sound really good at it."
Bauer began jamming with Lorenzetti, forming the foundation of the band in 2006. Five years and two albums later, the group released their third LP, "Maybe Tomorrow," earlier this month.
"It kind of just happened," Bauer says of his musical journey. "I'm just going with the flow."

“I never thought I would be a musician,” Billy explains and finds the appreciation by fans of their original songs to be one of the most rewarding experiences. Musicians and bands often face a challenge in hectic schedules, a fight the Billy Bauer Band is no stranger to. Their struggles have not been without success however. The Band won the Philadelphia region of the Original Sessions Nation Band Search in 2006, followed by their single “55” reaching number 2 on Garageband.com’s acoustic charts and also four nominations for the 2007 Lehigh Valley Music Awards, including Best Album for Another Day is Coming, Best Song for “55,” Best Male Vocals, and Best String Player. In the past spring and summer, the band opened for Uncle Kracker in Allentown, Pa, and for Pete Francis. The Billy Bauer Band, big advocators for cancer research, was also recognized by PA State Senator Lisa Boscola for their contributions to Alex’s Lemonade Stand.

"With all of the performances that the Billy Bauer Band have been doing over the past few years, you never would have guessed that this band has been together only since 2005."

"A strong work ethic, good sense of humor and willingness to make sacrificeshas helped the Billy Bauer Band get as far as it already has.  Always modest, Bauer and his bandmates speak of their crazy tour schedule, regular gigs, and regional showcases as if they are no huge deal."

"Bauer’s voice is the centerpiece on Another Day Is Coming. The Penn State history
student has got a Paul-Simonmeets- John-Mayer-meets-college style of singing which is
easy on the ears and pleasant to listen to."

"Billy Bauer Band An acoustic guitar/violin duo isn't something you see every day in the clubs of the Lehigh Valley."
