"Chrisie and Craig do a great job of getting the audience involved.  The students got really into their original songs and had a lot of fun creating their own original song.  We did this event in combination with an open mic night and The Billies were very supportive and encouraging of our students.  One of the most admirable aspects of their performance was their willingness to perform any requests our audience had - even if they weren't entirely familiar with the song, we all sang it together and they picked it up with ease!  This was such an entertaining evening and a wonderful community-builder to kick off the semester!"

"Thank you again for coming.  I can speak for our students by saying that we enjoyed having you and had a good time.​  Chrisie and Craig were awesome!  They both definitely have a knack for connecting with college students and turning a spectacular performance into a learning opportunity for students.  Our students took advantage of every break, and after their performance, to talk with Chrisie and Craig.  We appreciate their kindness and excitement about their love of making music.  We can’t wait to have them back at SU!"

​

"The Billies are a dynamic acoustic group that greatly entertained the crowd during our late night programming.  Their musical style is unique in that it offers an enjoyable environment with fantastic gentle and easy listening music.  I distinctly remember our student security officers coming up to Chrisie and Craig during tear down and expressing how much they enjoyed their performance.  Several musicians I have worked with during late night programming were not engaging or appreciative of their time at our institution, so I was amazed by the professionalism, genuine conversation, and friendliness that emerged the moment I met Chrisie and Craig.  I have forwarded my recommendation to bring them back to our institution and I enthusiastically recommend The Billies to other institutions as well.  You will not be disappointed!"

"AHHHHHH……THANK YOU so much, Billies!  The song turned out REALLY GREAT!  What a wonderful way to involve the audience and it gives us a great keepsake!  You two were great and I really enjoyed having you here.  Let me know what’s coming up for you two and when you are coming back to the area!  Thanks again for everything and the song turned out great!"

"The Billies performed at Muhlenberg College for the first weekend of our fall semester.  From an administrative point of view, Chrisie and Craig are super easy to work with.  They bring their own sound & adapt to any situation.  They also have a great rapport with the audience and drew a crowd of student musicians who performed with them and others who sang along to the songs.  We received some very positive feedback from the students who attended and will definitely bring The Billies back to campus soon." 

​

 - Bev MacEwan

    Director of Student Activities 

    Muhlenberg College

​

​

"We honestly did not know what to expect from the Billies because we had never seen them perform live.  However, we were definitely not disappointed.  Working with Chrisie was amazing and her personality showed the instant we met her.  The performance was great especially because the performance was a mix of original music and covers which works well with our crowd.  They are quite talented and we truly enjoyed their performance.  I would definitely recommend them to any schools out there that are looking for new talent for their campus."

"The Billies performed at Southside Virginia Community College on October 26 to rave reviews.  Our students were not only entertained but encouraged to perform along with this magnificent duo.  Many have stopped by my office to inquire when The Billies would be returning to our campus!  I highly recommend this group.  The time flew by!  Our students were not only left with an appreciation for the great talent this duo possesses, but with a feeling anything is possible if you are in the proper mindset!"

​

​

"The Billies were an incredible duo to kick-off our Coffee House Series.  Chrisie and Craig bring fun, energy, and charisma to their music and performances.  They truly engaged the crowd and entertained song requests regardless of their nature.  I recommend them to anyone who wants to sway to their catchy tunes and have great laughs!  Thank you for coming to Chatham University!"

"Where do I start off first!  You guys were very friendly when coming to the school and open to any ideas or discussions that the students had.  Also you guys openly asked for performers and any songs to preform.  What an amazing job you guys did and we hope to have ya'll back next year!"

“It was great to have The Billies at Western Carolina University.  Their show was a part of our annual Summer Concert Series on the outdoor lawn.  Although the shows for the Summer Concert Series are primarily for the community because most of the students are gone during the summer, we’ve had large audiences this year of students, community members, and students studying in Cullowhee from Jamaica.  The Billies were a great addition to the lineup because their style of music is a little different than the others’.  I loved how The Billies incorporated different methods of percussion and how their songs varied in themes.  The highlight of The Billies show for me was when Chrisie asked the group of Jamaican students to come on stage and sing their coveted Bob Marley “One Love” song. The Billies provided the background music as the group of students sang in perfect harmony!  Although the evening was interrupted by the change of location due to the rain, the group brought fun and rock to WCU in great ways.  It was a perfect night for good music, and great fun.”

"Thank you both so much for coming out to MC our talent night!  You both are fantastic musicians and great people.  I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations and am anxious to try new things next semester.  This was our most successful talent night in terms of student participation and attendance.  You really helped keep things fun and moving!  I do apologize to you for not scheduling you more time to perform!  It was certainly not intentional and all part of my learning process.  Your understanding and ability to go with the flow was so greatly appreciated!'

"Chrisie and Craig came to my campus and blew us away.  From the videos I saw before booking them, I was impressed.  But once they were on stage I could not believe the vocals coming from Chrisie or the extraordinary talents that Craig possesses.  Perhaps my favorite aspect of them coming was the friendship we acquired before the show.  They are amazing people and a blast to just talk to. They also performed a workshop that people loved.  One student told me before the workshop that he did not want to waste his time; after I convinced him to just check it out, he told me that it was one of the best experiences in his life.  Bravo Billies, Bravo."

"Looks can be deceiving.  What happens when you mix a tiny dynamo with a voice for the ages with a percussion background that is "not too much, not to little, just the right mixture?"  YOU GET THE BILLIES.  The two C's (Chrisie and Craig) give you music from beginning to end.  They don't stop.  They grow on you.  EXPERIENCE them. You will not be disappointed."
