Eric Lane Variety Band from Lakewood, CO

Eric Lane is a one-man-party for your event, with references from Colorado's top agents, private customers and dozens of venues. The most important tip I can provide is to hire full-time professional musicians. They offer the highest quality for the price, and your guests will shower you with compliments on the music. Fun, affordable, professional: Elvis to Gaga, easy listening to rock. I'll fit your budget and can travel anywhere. I want to help you find quality music so I've included the following insider tips and facts. TIP: Research the acts you're considering. Look for their performance schedule on their Facebook pages and websites. Look for the busiest acts and you're well on your way. I perform full-time for a living so reserve early! FACT: Three words: Sound, Talent, Personality. After 18 years in the business, I've learned these are what matter most to your guests, and the best boasting cannot compensate for an act who is weak in even one of them. ----SOUND---- TIP: Find performers who perform at a volume your guests can talk over, and they'll thank you. The most common complaint is people can't hear others over the music. I cannot stress enough what live sound -- done right -- means to the customer. TIP: If you're listening to a demo video and you can't hear the audience, that is NOT authentic live sound. It's sound from a recording studio or a mixing board which is then spruced up and pasted onto video. My live videos are exactly what your guests/clients will hear. Open another browser window and compare demo videos: in mine you hear people having FUN, yet you can clearly hear the words, the instruments and a full sound top-to-bottom. And most importantly...you can hear the guests talking effortlessly over the music. ----TALENT---- FACT: Your guests don't get pumped up listening to lukewarm versions of songs they know well. I place quality before quantity. On songs with backing tracks, everything you hear is me. I learn the parts from scratch and practice, perform, record, mix and master them before it they into the show. This is extremely rare and the result is inspired, pumped up guests having fun. On acoustic-only songs, singing style and guitar parts are true to the original song people remember. I've discovered this is also rare, and the compliments to you from your guests will reflect that. ----PERSONALITY---- FACT: A performer with personality is hard to find. If you find one, they can take an event to the next level by breaking the ice, charming the audience, getting them to loosen up, and infecting the event with fun. These videos are a good example of what can happen when a performer is "working the room".
