Whether spinning on a playlist, entertaining an intimate theatre audience or rocking a festival crowd of 10,000, the five gifted multi-instrumentalists that make up The Bills are masters at leaving listeners breathless and revitalized all at once.

Since forming in 1996, the band has delighted audiences across Canada, the US and Europe, with their impressive musical explorations and unscripted wit and charm. They've been twice nominated for Juno Awards, won a Western Canadian Music Award for Roots album of the year, and were honoured as BC Touring Artists of the Year. In 2006 the band was voted Western Canadian Entertainer of the Year, edging the likes of nominees Michael Buble and Jann Arden. Festivals favourites across Canada as well, between Marc Atkinson (mandolin, guitar, vocals), Adrian Dolan (fiddle, accordion, piano, vocals), Chris Frye (guitar, lead vocals), Richard Moody (violin, viola, vocals) and Scott White (upright bass, vocals), The Bills have seen nearly every festival across the country, either as themselves or with a number of other projects.

All of the members of The Bills are actively pursuing multiple other projects between releases, including working in other bands, producing and engineering, touring and teaching music to the next generation of Canadian greats.
