The Hank Lane organization brought out all the stops at the Meadowlands Superbowl Conference and Expo, The Big Game Experience, yesterday combining the talents of all of our affiliated companies. A full stage was constructed by Fusion Lighting along with super-sized video screens and a full truss with intelligent lighting. There were the latest LED casino tables, touch screen games, one-of-a-kind photo booths and a ten player video fooseball table. For music, The Bobby Attiko Band performed with guests artist appearances, including Wade Preston from the Tony Award winning musical Movin’ Out. DJ Allison Kinney from More Than Music entertained the crowds in between the band’s sets and seminars taking place. Vendors from primarily the New Jersey area were present their services for next year’s Super Bowl at Met Life Stadium.

Hi Justin!
Just wanted to thank you for recommending Dane’s band. They were amazing and added so much energy and excitement to our wedding. They were just the right pick. Please forward this note to them on our behalf. Thanks!
Dane,
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed having you and your band play at our wedding. Everyone keeps raving about how much fun they had and what amazing entertainers you guys are. We loved how you interacted with our guests (someone told us your singer was even singing from the balcony at some point!) and had everyone dancing and smiling. So many people told us it was the best wedding band they had ever seen. Thanks again for making our wedding a party to remember!

Dylan and his band were great. It seems everyone remarked about how good they were. After seating everyone a full hour late (it was beautiful weather) we finally got rocking about 9:30. They had everyone dancing within five minutes. If there was not room on the floor, they were dancing between the tables. A couple people said if they closed their eyes they could not have determined the difference between the actual recording artists or Dylan’s musicians.
I’d be surprised if there aren’t a number of inquiries from parents with as yet unmarried daughters.
Thanks for your guidance throughout and please pass these comments and thanks on to Dylan.
Regards,
Michael

Spencer,
(Their wedding was May 18th, 2013 at The Foundry)
When you’re right….
You had suggested Dane based on your interpretation of my daughter’s personality and the makeup of the guest list.
Dane Wright took control of the evening. He and the group had vitality, creativity, personality—I could go on and on.
Our group was rocking and rolling all night. Your musicians were, by far, better than we could have possibly imagined.
They were unbelievably good.
Everybody left with a smile. Kudos to you. Applause to them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you
I am still humming.

Hi Michael,
I just wanted to send you an email to say thank you so much for making our wedding so much fun! You and the band were amazing and now we are just trying to think of when we can have another party just so we could get you to come play.
All of our guests couldn’t stop raving about how great the band was. You played all of our favorite songs and the dance floor was always packed. Truly the highlight of our wedding! We are seeing you at a friend’s wedding in January and can’t wait!!
Thanks again!
Irina

The American Ballet Theatre (ABT) had its Opening Night Gala at the Metropolitan Opera House at Lincoln Center last night. Performances included pieces by Tchaikovsy and Rimsky-Korsakov. First Lady Michelle Obama was once again an honorary chair, and many celebrities were present to celebrate, including Sigourney Weaver and Uma Thurman. After the performance, the guests moved to the black and white themed dinner dance, where they were entertained by the Hank Lane Orchestra until the late hours of the evening. The band ended the night with a packed dance floor during “Danza Kuduro”. Hank Lane Music has had the honor of performing at the ABT Gala for twenty years running.

Hi Vicky,
Just wanted to thank you again for the fantastic effort and planning which made my 50th birthday party a great success. The Howard Taylor Band is a polished group of musicians who played tons of my favorite Michael Jackson music and other Motown hits. They even played background music for one of my family members who performed that night. The DJ Robert was very accommodating and kept the pace and the theme of the party alive. The mood of the party started off great with the stilt walkers and jugglers while the steel drum band warmed everyone up during the cocktail hour. Then the main act, Brazilian dance troupe, kicked off a frenzy of fun and dance which was so inviting that made everyone join in and dance.
We will definitely be using Hank Lane and More Than Music again and again.

Dear Michael,
THANK YOU – you and your band were wonderful last night. Everyone LOVED your cocktail music and I appreciated your being mindful to noise level during dinner. I think this was the first year I was not told by the client to quiet the band down!
The guests were up early dancing which was great.
Many thanks again!

Hi Russ!
I wanted to send you a quick thank you note from myself and Jon. We can’t thank you and the rest of the band enough for being so awesome – we had a blast and the music was amazing. All of our guests had a great time and have had such nice things to say about you. Without you guys, it wouldn’t have been the kind of night we had wanted. It was perfect. Thanks so much again and apologies for my late email!
Best,
Lindsay and Jon
Letter from the mother of the bride:
Hi Russ,
Your band sounded great, and you did a wonderful job keeping us all on our feet ALL night, (OR keeping up with our rather energetic crowd – who knows which came first??). Either way, it all went so smoothly, and your music just topped off a perfect night at Capitale! Lindsay and Jon were obviously thrilled, and so were Alan and I. So many of our guests have been raving about the fabulous venue, the delicious food, AND the amazing band we had. I know personally LOTS of people with sore feet who can attest to that!
So thanks, again…Hope to have the pleasure of seeing you at someone else’s event in the future!
PS: HOW great was that “Born to Run” closing??????
xoxo,
Sharon
