Bill Zinno

Bill is a singer-songwriter who also covers classic folk, rock, country, and oldies. He sings and plays the acoustic guitar and harmonica. Bill has many years of performing experience, performing at private events as well as restaurants, clubs, coffeehouses, and festivals. He varies the mix of song selections between originals and cover tunes depending on the type of venue and audience response.

Bill is very flexible, and able to adjust to most any performing situation, large or small. Don't be afraid to ask for what your situation may need to be a success.

Bill's original songs tell stories of modern relationships, personal growth, garage bands, addiction, and even crusty old sea captains. Bill is also a psychotherapist who is dedicated to helping people achieve their full potential in life. His song writing reflects this as well as his desire to tap the power of music to promote healing and growth.

• Bill was very professional and very accomodating. He was a pleasure to work with. It was a perfect fit for our event! -- Theresa G, Wickford, RI, 8/12/2011
• Bill was excellent! From the minute we had communication by email, he was professional and willing to go above and beyond for us. Not only did he play every song we adored, but he took the time to LEARN two songs for us! He learned our first dance song, and also the mother-son dance. His singing was perfectly accented to the event, and I couldn't rate him high enough on here! A 5 is an understatement. I am forever grateful for how Bill treated our special wedding day. We will forever recommend him! -- Melanie F, West Hartford, CT, 5/12/2012
• Bill Zinno did an excellent job at my sons graduation party. We had 85 people and some of my guests want to book him for their parties. Great songs, we also asked him to play longer! The day was prisitne and now a beutiful memory for my son. Dawn Forte Cranston RI -- Dawn F, Cranston, RI, 7/3/2010
