Introduction: This most award-winning, full-service band from the Northwest includes jazz combos and soloists for cocktails, dinner, or background music, plus a hit-charged dance quintet that rocks the house, packing the sound and energy of a 10-piece group. The band has crisp-pacing, 80-90-minute non-stop sets and an unbelievable repertoire that covers every dance style, from Sinatra-era swing through all modern styles, including current hip-hop. The most common reaction is: "Amazing!" We are uniquely admired for: "Many current, modern stuff you do!" Biggest surprise: "At first, we thought it was a DJ, but then we noticed it was actually a live band. Very impressive!" Find us on Facebook!

Michael Benson Band played at our wedding last month. The band is awesome. They did everything from wedding music for the ceremony, our special requests for our dance, to Frank Sinatra jazz music during cocktail hour, to modern dance music covers until midnight. Friend's and family are still talking about how great the band was. They transition from one song to the next just like a DJ. My great friend in the entertainment industry was impressed by the bands endurance. They kept everybody out on the dance floor for our entire party! Finally, they really only took two short breaks, one during dinner that was barely noticed, and one brief one after 2 hours of pretty intense dancing. They were well worth the money. I highly recommend hiring them for your event.

We used Michael and his band for our daughter's Orthodox Jewish wedding & reception. Michael easily adapted to our requirements, and had an extensive repertoire of Jewish music as well as the more traditional pieces. Our guests loved his music. I highly recommend The Michael Benson Band

The Michael Benson Band played at our daughter's wedding last May and they were the BEST! Everyone danced and the energy was non-stop. Great music and fantastic professionals.

Michael and his Band were a complete hit at our wedding! Not only did they play everything from Frank Sinatra to Eminem (flawlessly, by the way), but Michael and the band members kept the energy high for the entire evening! Our guests kept commenting days after the wedding, about how wonderful the band was! Michael was a constant professional, easy to work with, accessible and offered great suggestions for our playlists too! My husband, who previously believed that no band could match the variety that a DJ would offer, has forever been convinced otherwise and remains one of their biggest fans. We'd highly recommend the Michael Benson Band, without hesitation, to anyone looking to provide an incomparable musical experience for his/her event. We can't wait to have an opportunity to work with Michael and his band again in the future.
