DESCRIPTION:
Formed in 2004, LIGHTNING HAND is a Blues-based Rock'n'Roll band from Sacramento, CA. We are the #1 rated Sacramento band in the categories of Rock, Cover and Wedding Bands, and in the Top5 in Blues,Country,60's and 70's here at Gigmasters, the nation's biggest on-line booking agency. While we have been described as a "Blues/Rock" or "Classic/Rock" band, LIGHTNING HAND plays a full night of original music & covers. Fans of Eric Clapton, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, The Band, Rolling Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Black Crowes, Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynrd, Jerry Jeff Walker, and traditional Blues & Americana will absolutely love the band!! With 100+ years of experience between us, we are an extremely danceable band that keeps your party on their feet. LIGHTNING HAND has been entertaining crowds in Sacramento and Northern California for quite some time.
There is feedback from previous clients on our Gigmasters page, please review these to get a feel of what others have said about our performances. We have played big auditoriums as well as small restaraunts, and will cater to whatever your needs. We have played for the Sacramento Kings as well as opened for ZZ Top. You can hear some of our music(covers & originals) here at Gigmasters. This will give you a general idea of how we sound live. Our own Cd, "Almost To Nowhere" has sparked major interest from labels, fans and critics, allowing LIGHTNING HAND to continue touring the West Coast region. Make no mistake, LIGHTNING HAND has a unique and original sound, which proudly separates us from bands that just play 'Blues' or just play 'Country'. We do it all, with our own sound. We also encourage our clients to custom-make their own setlists, by chosing whatever songs they would like to hear from our extensive songlist.
Looking for ACOUSTIC only?? LIGHTNING HAND can also play a full night of acoustic-style songs if desired. Think of it as LIGHTNING HAND unplugged. This is more or less our side project. Fans of Americana, Bob Dylan, and traditional Folk, Blues & Country acoustic guitar will enjoy a special evening. If you'd like a more intimate musical experience, then this is what you're looking for. Find out why LIGHTNING HAND is considered one of the premier Sacramento bands. If you like to dance, boogie or just get down, then LIGHTNING HAND is your band!!!

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
From beginning to end I can't imagine having a better experience than with this band. Every request was accomodated and they were able to work with every suggestion we had. The peformance was exactly what you would want from a band; professional, entertaining, exciting and best of all they are able to get people out of their seats and on the dance floor. This band WILL be one of the best memories you have of any event you ask them to perform at. I couldn't recommend them more and I would have them play at any event where I couldn't afford to dissapoint. Truly first class with a heavy dose of talent and a great attitude. I really can't imagine a better choice.

Well where do I start? Lightning Hand Rocks! we had to change venues at the last minute due to weather and they still showed up on time and with booming energy that was focused on the success of our event. The band was comprised of players that loved to play as much as we loved to listen. The group was one of the most giving and open minded easy going group I have ever worked with. I do this for a living so that say's a lot. Several CD's were sold for trhe sole purpose of the purchasers desire to book them for their own event. the entire crowd of 200 plus folks all gave positive feedback to "my band". Book em now! or you will regret it!!!

I am so thrilled with our experience with the Gigmasters website. We weren't sure about the genre we wanted and your website is so broad. We auditioned quite a different range music, 50's-90's. In our search we came across "Lightning Hand" a local cover band. Eric invited us to see them at club they were working at, and I have to say, they are some of the finest performers I have EVER worked with. Their performance as a "team" is flawless. This is five of the best performers and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting their event to be a success. All of the compliments by our guests was so gratifying, our event would not have been as successful without them.

This band was OUTSTANDING!!!!! I'm trying to make up holidays and special occasions just so I can hire them again! I never thought I'd get such a spectacular show. The music was tight and, the band members were having fun while playing which kept the crowd energized and wanting more. If anyone who might be reading this review is thinking of hiring a band then look no further. You can't go wrong with Lightning Hand!

Lightning Hand has always been one of the most professional bands I've dealt with. As a booking agency, we look for the right band at the right venues. The band has always performed great and look forward to having them back in the future.

The band was great! Everyone had such a wonderful time that we may need to make it an annual event. They arrived early for set-up, took very small breaks and kept the crowd entertained. They even let a few guests join in and play. They were great fun.

First thing to say, guest loved them and gave positive comments about them and the band had them dancing and they didn't want to quit. Many family members went to the jazz festival the next day and came back saying "I don't know why we went, we had the best band last night". I was impressed that I asked them to come over and give feedback on location a few weeks early and they did. They came early and set up in order not to intefer with ceremony and catier. They were here early to start playing when needed. They were dressed apporiate for the occasion, and did ask before what we wanted in dress attire. They gave us their CD of their origanial music and a list of their cover songs to select from before and we were happy with the selections. Most of all, they were kind, fun and friendly and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
We thank them very much for helping our wedding be wounderful,
Thea and Terry

Set up early and worked with a tight area. Played requests and allowed the "Birthday Boy" to sit-in with the band. Good mix of covers along with some originals. Great band to hire for a party!
