“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. In 2006, only six months after their first show, the band got a spot in "CMJ Music Marathon," one of the most prestigious music festivals in the world. Then later that year, while representing the Philadelphia region in the Original Sessions National Band Search, Billy Bauer Band took first place. This year the band has many performances lined up at some of the largest music festivals on the East Coast. Members' roles: Billy Bauer -- guitar, vocals, writing Chris Lorenzetti -- violin Drew Somers -- drums Cody Hamlin -- Bass Genre: acoustic, folk rock, alternative Sounds like: Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer and REM ”

“Imagine Dave Matthews mixed with John Mayer and you have the Billy Bauer Band hailing from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. “Everything in life inspires my writing,” Billy states when I asked them how the words and music blended to create their original tunes. Billy uses the lyrics of his songs to tell stories, share experiences, and even vent his own issues. “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. The Band has been nominated for multiple 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.”

— Casey Weisbeck, Pennsylvania Music Scene

“Billy Bauer Band ANOTHER DAY IS COMING The Billy Bauer Band was formed by singer/songwriter Billy Bauer and violinist/keyboard player Chris Lorenzetti. On their newest disc, the two enlist the help of Steve Zalalas's bass skills and Zack Martin's steady drumming. Together, the four have created a relaxed, care-free sound that's rich with creative instrumentation and intricate rhythm. Bauer's voice is the center-piece on Another Day Is Coming. The Penn State history student has got a Paul-Simon-meets-John-Mayer-meets-college style of singing which is easy on the ears and pleasant to listen to. The second most noticeable thing is Lorenzetti's violin playing and careful keyboard touches, which work well. ”

— Pulse, Pulse Weekly

“ A strong work ethic, good sense of humor and willingness to make sacrifices 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. But even with that type of modesty, the folk/rockish/Americana band certainly appreciates every opportunity that comes its way. Sometimes they enjoy getting out to a larger venue that will help get the word out about the band, but other times, they simply prefer to stay closer to home playing in venues and for people who have provided the band with consistent support.”
