Review by Erica A.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on March 20, 2023From Fairfax, VA

The Bill Pappas Project put on a fantastic show for my husband's surprise party. This was no surprise, since we have heard them numerous times and love their music and style. I would describe them as a rock/blues/jazz combo with unique instrumental solos that can get interactive with the crowd. The manager, Audrey, was an excellent communicator in the months leading up to the party. She responded to emails promptly and included details and requests far in advance. The price was very reasonable considering the quality and performance. If you are considering live music for an event, I highly recommend you explore the Bill Pappas Project. You won't be disappointed!

CelebrationReviewed on June 6, 2022From Potomac, MD

Bill and the band absolutely brought the house down! They were fantastic and the 75 or so attendees couldn't have been more pleased. They made the going away party a truly memorable event and I couldn't imagine using anyone else! Additionally, Bill had a friend in town who joined them who was a Grammy-award winning saxophonist who was terrific and the manager Audrey was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! Thank you!

The Bill Pappas Project (formerly Dead Cat Bounce):

Tim, thanks so much for your heartfelt & thorough review of our band, for your recent Suprise Going Away Party for your friends.  The band & I really appreciate the acknowledgement. It's always so nice to hear we helped make the event a memorable one. Music plays a big part in the fun, however it really is everyone that contrubutes to the good time & a successful  party. You & the homeowners made sure things went smoothly for our set-up as well as during the show.  And your guests were so fun & lively. Thanks again, it was a pleasure & please keep us in mind for your future events. We truly had a blast! Best regards, Audrey/Bookings & Promotions 571-218

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on July 14, 2019From Bowie, MD

These guys were top notch! Audrey the booker, was super helpful and a pleasure to work with! We had about 80 people and they have all raved about how much they loved the band!

The Bill Pappas Project (formerly Dead Cat Bounce):

Jill, Thanks so much for the positive feedback. The band had a blast playing for your guests & contributing to the festivities. As you saw, our band is very interactive and feeds off the energy from your lively crowd. So it all came together with everyone's efforts. You too, were a pleasure to deal with. Keep us in mind for your future events and of course come see us play throughout the year as well. You made it so fun! Audrey
