We love the Russ Bennett Band!!

We had the Russ Bennett Band at our wedding in September 2023 and it was the best money spent! Russ worked with us leading up to the event and was so gracious and attentive on the day of. Our guests could not stop commenting on the band and how fabulous they sounded and the energy they brought! People were on the dance floor all night and were totally blown away by the talent. Book them, it will ABSOLUTELY be worth it!

Best band ever!

We couldn't be happier with our experience with Cory LS! Everyone was dancing all night long and all of our friends and family asked us who the band was because they were such a hit. Life of the party and so professional.

Amazing Band!

We hired the Brad Baker Band from Hank Lane for our wedding and they were absolutely incredible! So many people raved about how amazing the band was after the wedding. The reputation of Hank Lane was what led us to book with them. They were a little pricier than some other options we looked at, but there was no question about the quality we would be getting with them vs other companies, and that sigh of relief was what put us over the edge. It paid off too, because the night before our wedding the lead band member came down with Covid and had they not told us, we would have had no idea! They sent a replacement band member in his place and everything went exactly to plan. Highly recommend booking Hank Lane for your wedding!
