YOUR COMMUNITY IS MY WORKPLACE
"As someone also with years of experience working as an event planner, I know how important it is to plan for contingencies, provide the right touch, and above all---run the event as smoothly as possible. With lots of moving parts, it was my job to ensure the client's and guests' expectations were met to the fullest.
Logistics and aesthetic are best handled by someone with experience, longevity, and style. I have more than 20 years experience performing for and working in almost every type of event.
I've toured nationally (by land and sea), and performed for events such as: Silent Auctions, Weddings, Corporate Events, The U.S. Military, Fundraisers, Galas, Holiday Parties, Private Events, Sporting Events, Engagement Parties, Bridal Showers, Baby Showers, Valentine's Day, etc.
Studied music and performed in various ensembles at Indiana University, with a BA degree in Telecommunications, and Minor in Music.
Opened for (and occasionally shared the stage with) legendary national touring artists.
I am grateful and incredibly fortunate to do this for a living! I treat every event with the same level of professionalism."

TESTIMONIALS
“I am a huge fan of music, especially live music. It's all about attention to detail, and Bill Hauser is a perfectionist. I've hosted many events from corporate to mixers and Bill knows how to entertain a crowd. Highly recommend him!”
- Frank Ankomah, Grgich Hills Estate, Napa Valley, CA
“Bill performed for my fiancé's and I’s proposal and he absolutely nailed it. From the start of booking to the performance, Bill was an absolute professional and played our requested song perfectly. If you were thinking of a saxophone player to be at your event, Bill is your man.”
- Jose A., San Francisco, CA
“We hired KillBill Sax for our 30th wedding anniversary party. He was amazing all my guests were so impressed and even started dancing! He was very professional got to know us, and played our wedding song. We’ll hire him again for future events!!”
- Laura Dominguez, San Jose, CA
“KillBill's performances at the benefit auctions that I've worked alongside him at are top-notch! He's an entertaining and very talented musician that knows how to both work the crowd for a solo performance and provides soothing background music for a cocktail hour type of setting. 10 out of 10, I would highly recommend hiring him for any gala fundraiser to help add to the ambiance of the event.”
- Dan Newman, Founder & Auctioneer, Alaska Premier Auctions & Appraisals
“KillBill Sax is one of the most refreshing acts I've worked with. He's easy to work with, and his performances are inspired and seemingly effortless. Once I discovered him, I wished I had found him sooner.”
- J.W. Frye, Executive Director, Rebuilding Together East Bay North, Berkeley, CA
“When we started planning our wedding, I knew right away I wanted to involve Bill in our special day--one way or another. I have seen his performances and was blown away by his talent. When we first met with Bill we immediately connected with his vibe. He is the definition of cool, funky, fun, and also extremely professional. He entertained our guests between the ceremony and reception with groovy tunes from classic soul and R&B hits to pop favorites. He was able to read the crowd and our guests loved him! My favorite part of the night was when he jammed with our wedding DJ in a total improv moment that got everyone on the dance floor and took the party to a whole new level. I can’t thank Bill enough for those memories that our friends still rave about today. ”
- Jennifer Cheung, San Francisco, CA
“We have featured KillBill Sax at the Alaska State Fair over the past several years, at multiple performance locations ranging from the Colony Stage to the Pioneer Plaza. His scheduled shows always draw an appreciative crowd to the stage, and that beautiful sax music wafting across the Plaza is an unexpected treat for fairgoers, lending a nice touch of class to an area that doesn’t have an actual performance stage. Whether performing in a scheduled slot on a designated music stage or under a pop-up tent on the grounds, Bill is a total professional in every aspect from setup to performance, while at the same time being extremely easy to work with on logistics. There will be a Fair slot (or two) waiting with his name on it whenever his performance schedule allows.”
- Suzy Crosby, Entertainment & Events Manager, Alaska State Fair
“KillBill Sax performed at our garden event celebrating our youngest sons return from 4 years in Unites States Air Force, serving our country! The music is magical and Bill is a true artist. He has a high end sound system so the music floated through the garden setting without being too loud for the neighbors. In addition, when he took breaks, he has a back up music he plays so there is never a music interruption. Honestly, BEST money ever spent. He was the highlight to a very beautiful day. Thank you Bill!”
- Jayne Carthy, Redwood City, CA
“KillBill Sax performed at our Yountville Chamber Mixers numerous times and he rocks it every time! Bill is easy to work with. Knows just the perfect set to perform for the mood of the event and is always friendly with guests. We recommend Bill regularly to businesses throughout the Napa Valley. Thank you Bill for your continued partnership!”
- Whitney Diver McEvoy, President & CEO, Yountville Chamber of Commerce, Napa Valley, CA
“I’ve used Bill for a few events and he is always a huge hit and easy to work with! He played at our Christmas party one year and everyone loved him! We also used him for a virtual event, and his set-up was top notch. The sound came through great and he even had the ability to customize a rolling banner onscreen. His music and flare add a fun and classy ambiance to any room. Virtual and in-person. Highly recommend him!”
- Tiffany Vassar, Executive Aide to SR VP GM of Consumer Services, GCI, Anchorage, AK
“KillBill Sax was a great addition to our festival! He was a pleasure to work with and was at the venue prompt, prepared, and on time. Our attendees loved listening to him and he offered a great performance. We would definitely invite him to the university again!”
- Corey Miller, Student Activities Coordinator, University of Alaska Anchorage
“KillBill Sax was just what I was looking for when I needed entertainment for an intimate reception. Bill’s performance was excellent and working with him before the event was seamless. ”
- Holly Lee, Director of Development, Covenant House Alaska
“Having KillBill Sax at our 10 Chefs for Causes event was icing on the cake. Many of our guests commented on how they loved the music. It was fun, elegant and yet unobtrusive. Bill was a professional through the whole process and very easy to work with. I highly recommend.”
- Gillian Brinnand, former president of 10 Chefs for Causes, Anchorage, AK
“Usually, we just have the DJ play light music during our annual employee appreciation party during dinner but decided to contract Bill Hauser of Kill Bill Sax instead. As the event chair, I received MANY comments both during and after the event about how much our guests enjoyed the music. He really “classed up” the event with his professionalism and talent. He is also very easy to work with. If you want to make both your event and your planning team look good, contract Kill Bill Sax! Our organization or affiliates have booked him several times since our first experience because everyone enjoyed his music so much.”
