Bill Hicks, formerly the lead trumpet player with the Harry James Orchestra, will meet your musical needs with the finest professional musicians and performers. BBN Productions allows you to custom design music for your event, whether it's a wedding, charitable ball or corporate function. If your company, agency or group has a theme for an upcoming event, BBN Productions will make that theme the focus of its performance.

Big Band Nostalgia Productions offers a wide variety of music from our four, diverse bands:

Bill Hicks' 10- to18-piece band, Bill Hicks & Big Band Nostalgia, has delighted audiences in Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey with music of the 1930s and 40s and a diverse repertoire of contemporary numbers.

If you are planning a smaller event, our seven-piece band, Bill Hicks & Combo Nostalgia, is just what you need. Combo Nostalgia has the same versatility of Big Band Nostalgia but is better suited for smaller rooms or parties. You can still customize the band's repertoire for your special event to create a certain mood or emphasize a theme.

Our brass quintet, The Bill Hicks Brass, can provide anything from baroque to patriotic songs and marches. Herald trumpeters in tails and white gloves are also available to play fanfares to announce your special event.

Our newest band, Bill Hicks & 2nd Avenue Swing Riot, features Bonnie Heller on vocals. The band is available as an 8-piece or 12-piece group and performs classic rock music from Chicago, The Beatles, Billy Joel, Martha Reeves, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and many more.
