Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 14, 2009•From Squaw Valley, CA
These guys will not let you down. They are not only the most professional band members I know, but the most accommodating and extremely talented. They went out of there way for us at our wedding in more ways than one - from letting my brother and me sing a song while they played back up to accommodating requests from the crowd. They played the perfect ceremony music, cocktail hour music, dinner music and of course every guest was cutting a rug to their tunes at the reception. Thanks for everything - it would not have been the same without you guys! Don't hesitate to hire them for yourself.

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.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on May 24, 2008•From Greenwood, CA
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!!!

These guys were awesome! I've played in several professional bands, and I was very impressed. Their price was very reasonable, they were very accommodating, and they sounded GREAT. They had a tough crowd to work with, and simply OWNED them. I will call Lightning Hand first the next time I need to hire a band.

It was a total pleasure to work with Lightning Hand Band. Their performance was excellent! We would definitely hire them again. I also had several people that chair other event inquire as to how to contact them for their events - I think that says it all.
The band was wonderful to work with and sounded great!
Thank you!

Lightning Hand was so great to listen and dance to..... an excellent blues/classic rock band. We had so many compliments from our guests. In addition to providing a great performance, they were also professional and accommodating. We recommend them highly and would hire them again, without hesitation. Thank you Lightning Hand.

Lighting Hand did an AMAZING job at our wedding!!!! They started with acoustic music during dinner (which allowed for folks to visit without shouting) and then took it up several notches after dinner and the dance floor was packed all night long. We couldn't even begin to tell you how many folks commented on the band and how excited they were by their selection of music! We never heard them play live...just went off of the comments from their website and how kind and accommodating they were over the phone. Great guys! Great music! Great fun!

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.

Lightning Hand did a great job at our outdoor neighborhood celebration. They played a variety of songs that both young and old could sing and dance too. They were willing to work with the staging environment provided and the neighborhood limitations. They never complained and showed great respect to our guest. The band's music reinforced the atmosphere of positive family and community spirit.

Awesome!! The perfect mix of music for our party. They were very tight musically and just a super group of guys to work with. Our guests kept asking "How did you find these guys? They're great!" Thanks Lightning Hand for letting my music professional brother and brother-in-law sit in on a few songs. -Paul

These guys were great! They let a few of the men play and sing with them which was very accommodating. Interacted really well with the crowd. It was definitely a bonus having the play at the Base!

Lightning Hand is great!! They performed at our wedding and played acoustic during dinner and electric afterward. They kept the guests on the dance floor all night and everyone was telling me how great they were and wondering where we found them. I would definitely recommend Lightning Hand for any event!

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.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 26, 2007•From Sacramento, CA
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

From the beginning to the end a really easy group to work with. Music and vocals were great,and I truly feel they'd be hard to beat. I got lots & lots of compliments. (how did you find this band?)
Eric and the guys arrived plenty early to set up and kept the party goin' for the rest of the evening.

Lightning Hand was awesome!! All of my guests complimented their playing. I ran into some neighbors, who did not make the party, but heard Lightning Hand playing, they said 'they sounded great'!
They were very professional, through set up, sound checks, playing, and closing. They made me and my guests big fans! I can't thank Lightning Hand enough for coming out and making my wife's 50th birthday a very special and memorable time!

Lightning Hand was GREAT! I would definately hire them again. I had every range of age from teen to 70 something's and everyone loved the music. The one thing that impressed me was they were not too loud that you could actually have a normal conversation without yelling.
Great Guys, Great Music, Great Band!!

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.
