Bill Foley's voice, presence & instrumental talent enchants all. Our residents clap, sing along and boogie in their seats to his music. He combines a nice and ever changing selection of songs they recognize and love. In addition to his musical magic he also adds his loving personal touch, ending each show with a hand shake and thank you for coming, to each and every resident. With stars in their eyes and a big smile on their face they always ask ..."when will HE be back ?" A huge thank you to Bill for touching their lives so sweetly.

Bill is a talented, enthusiastic performer with a great personality who is clearly loves to entertain the elderly population. They in turn thoroughly enjoy him and his performances. His performances are always varied both in repertoire and in style. He also finds numerous ways to involve the audience whether by having them sing-a-long, various dance moves, hand gestures, and engaging them in conversation.
The residents repeatedly ask for entertainment and Bill is always on the list of their favorite entertainers. He truly puts his heart and soul into his music.

If you're looking for a really great entertainer... Bill Foley is seriously one of the best! He plays guitar and harmonica and sings with great passion-you truly can tell that he loves what he does. One of the best things about him is he spends a minute with EVERY single resident after his performance. The songs that he sings are not the ones you regularly hear from most entertainers that come to facilities. He has a very different repertoire-songs that have brought tears to residents' eyes or songs that they have not heard in years.
I don't promote a lot of entertainers but Bill is really great. He plays every other month here and the residents love him.

Bill Foley has been a fabulous addition to the entertainment provided at Sutton Hill Center. He is an exceptional musician, and has formed and maintained relationships with the residents and staff. Bill is very professional during his show and makes an effort to personally thank and talk to each person before they leave. Bill has an extensive repertoire of music and he doesn't perform the same old songs. Every time, he provides us with an extremely high energy show full of a wide variety of music. It's never the same show twice! Bill is also very flexible in his performances as he is always willing to enhance our theme days with special performances.
