Listeners of the Billy Bauer Band are often reminded of the Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer,  Paul Simon, and REM in a blender.  Billy has got a Paul Simon- meets- John-Mayer -college style of singing which is easy on the ears and pleasant to listen to.  (Pulse Weekly, March 2007).   CD & I-tune sales between their two studio released albums: The Best of Both Worlds (2005) and Another Day Is Coming (2006) have topped over 4,000 units since 2006.  Bauer tours virtually non-stop and has played over 350 shows in the past 2 years.  The band has traveled the East Coast, from Charlottesville, VA, Ocean City, MD, Philadelphia, PA to New York City.  Their imaginative song writing and unique instrumentation make their live performances a must see.
