Frank Simmons Band was incredible!

The Frank Simmons Band, part of Hank Lane, was incredible at our wedding on April 13, 2024! The entire night they brought the energy and kept everyone on their feet the entire time. The ten-piece band brought such great vibes, and they even got in on the dance floor action, making it feel like a private concert just for us. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how awesome they were, saying it was the best wedding band they've ever seen. Frank and the Hank Lane team were great to work with. Additionally, the strings and piano player they provided for our ceremony and cocktail hour were the perfect touch.

Hiring them was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our big day!

Overdrive - book them!

We had the incredible OVERDRIVE band at our wedding on April 13th and they absolutely went above and beyond. Plenty of friends have used various other Hank Lane bands for their own weddings so this was our first in person experience with the group and we were blown away. So much fun and kept the dance floor absolutely packed. Book them!

Steve delisi band!

Words cannot express the incredible talent, professionalism, vibe, etc etc of the Steve Delisi band. They were simply UNBELIEVABLE. They played hit, after hit, after hit. There was never a moment where people weren't up and dancing and having the best time of their lives. It was the night of our lives - just perfect.

We cannot thank your team and the band enough for making our night the most special one ever. Will be recommending not only Hank Lane, but specifically Steve Delisi band to anyone that will listen to us until forever.
