"Harley’s audiences are families, but it’s hard to tell who enjoys him more – parents or children.” Los Angeles Times
Intergenerational entertainment at it’s best, Bill's songs and stories paint a vibrant and hilarious picture of growing up, schooling and family life. Masterful storytelling and comic narrative songs will have listeners young and old laughing out loud. With slice-of-life vignettes about big trouble and simple pleasures, Bill’s rubber-faced abandon and keen memory will delight the entire family.
