Hank Lane Music: Our Story
After leading and performing with dance bands at various events, bandleaders Hank Lane, DeeAnn Cowart and Marc Stevens, opened Hank Lane Music & Productions in New York City in 1978. Their vision has been passed on to the next generation which includes some of today’s most sought-after party bands in the event industry.
Since its founding in 1978, the concept behind Hank Lane Music has been to make sure clients could enjoy music performed the way it should sound as they celebrated their own weddings or other private personal, corporate or charitable or charitable events. To live up to this standard, Hank Lane Music has chosen to work exclusively with only the top talent in the industry. Our bands, DJs and entertainers are truly the best of the best!
Every Hank Lane band possesses a special blend of youth, elegance, and excitement. Each band is unique yet equally adept in all styles of music including Contemporary, Top 40, Rock Motown, Rhythm & Blues, Swing, Big Band, Ballroom, Jazz, Disco, Hip Hop and Classical. We have among the best and most versatile wedding bands in the NYC, NJ and CT market.
