Bill "Taco" Eastep is a career musician hitting his stride. He has spent a lifetime on stage, and it shows. Seasoned by decades of live performance, he delivers music that’s passionate and expressive.

Early Years:
All the greats start young. His training began with voice lessons at age four. By third grade he was reading guitar music, sight-singing by middle school, starting saxophone in sixth grade and taking up drums and piano in ninth grade. Clarinet and flute came later while instructing at Kemtone Music in Milwaukee, WI. With a desire to fill any remaining gaps in his training, Taco attended Milwaukee Area Technical College, Occupational Music Program, studying with greats like Jack Grassel and Prof. Harold Miller.

Performing:
By his teens, Taco was already performing in local original and cover bands, including his father’s country group, Sue and the Crew. Now, with too many bands to name, Taco is well-versed in Rock, Country and especially the Blues. Having the great pleasure of performing with many road bands, Taco has played to audiences in 22 states across this great country.

Current Projects:
Taco Solo — singing and electric guitar with tracks.
Dreams Duet — Donna Hill and Taco, SWFL’s premier vocal harmony duo.
Taco Trio — Al Schmidtner, Donna Hill and Taco with tracks.
Groove Train — Sabrina Shell, Shawn Foy and Taco, an all-70s/Disco show trio.
Taco and the Hot Sauce — The hottest band around! Full live band performing rock, blues, classic hits, and dance music.
