B Street Benny has been a household name in the French Quarter of New Orleans for over a decade now. We've entertained hundreds of thousands of people, receiving numerous acclaims including Best of the Knot for wedding bands in the Gulf Coast region five years running.
We believe that music leaves an everlasting impression on your guests. We work closely with our couples to design the most perfect night of entertainment for their family and friends to celebrate.
We pride ourselves on our versatility covering songs from Frank Sinatra, Etta James, Aretha Franklin to Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, Dua Lipa, Michael Jackson, Lady A, Chris Stapleton, Whitney Houston, The Weekend and more.
We hired B Street Benny for our wedding in New Orleans, planned from out of town. They sounded fantastic all night, adhered to our music preferences, were very fun on stage and sweet to us behind the scenes, and basically stole the show (in a good way)! Our guests were dancing all night, and many told us they were the best wedding band they had ever seen. My only misgiving is that communication during planning was sometimes inconsistent or delayed, but this was in no way reflected in their performance at our event, and I am so glad we hired them. B Street Benny made our wedding day even more special and memorable with their talent; thank you!
Congrats! You can now stop your endless search to find the perfect band for your wedding because you happened to stumble upon the best one on the planet, B Street Benny!
My wife and I hired TJ, Brad and the rest of B Street Benny for our wedding of 150 people in New Orleans and they brought down the house. They truly made our wedding incredibly memorable and ensured everyone was engaged and having fun the entire night. The thing we wanted most from our wedding was it to be one big party for our guests and B Street Benny delivered!
Not only do they sound incredible, but they are extremely easy to work with and professional. They chatted with us multiple times throughout the year leading up to our wedding and went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable as wedding date approached.
B Street Benny has a HUGE song list and can cater the set list to virtually anything that you and your guests require. They are able to play everything from classic oldies, hair-band 80s rock, alternative 90s, and any genre from today.
Song list aside, B Street Benny understands how to structure and execute your song list throughout the evening. They understand what types of songs should be played while guests are still mingling and eating and which songs to play when it is an all-out dance party! This seems subtle but the way they have a pulse on the room and react with their music accordingly was probably my favorite thing about them!
My wife and I have already recommended them to our friends who will be getting married in the near future and if for some reason I have a need to plan an event with live music, B Street Benny will be the first and only band I call!
So incredibly grateful to B Street Benny for helping to make our wedding a perfect night!
My husband, daughter and I where on Bourbon Street for our 30th wedding anniversary at the end of October. We came from Illinois. We danced so much the two nights we were there to this awesome band, that our smart watch said that we had walked 30 miles. Granted some of that was actually walking, but majority of it was continuous dancing for over 5 hours. Great vocals, great song list and great musicians!
Saw you on bourbon st in may. Just a fun band. Loved T.J.'s vocals. I am from PA but will try to look you up again when I come down for jazz fest next year!
Response from B Street Benny:
Thanks so much! We're always happy to hear people enjoyed the show

We are extremely versatile. We take great pride in understanding that audience demographic is vast. We are capable of playing a non-stop dance show just as easily as we could do one that is all rock. For clubs and venues we cater to your audience. For weddings and private events we are capable of providing ceremony music as well as jazz and adult contemporary for cocktail hour. Have requested first dances, we'll learn those no problem. Want the dance floor packaged all night, we've got you covered. Not only are we able to play a wide variety of songs and styles, we are able to deliver them with great authenticity. We are lovers and students of our craft. We loved music way before it was our job. And honestly, the work comes before the show. The show is the fun and exciting part! We love to see you smile.
B Street Benny is an eight member performance group. This unit is the result of the collaborative efforts of Brad and TJ, a dynamic husband and wife team, and their work 8 years prior its genesis. Since our inception in 2008 we have operated as a house band at some of the world's most famous venues on Bourbon Street including The Famous Door, Bourbon Blues Company and Bourbon Bandstand. We pride ourselves on being the most versatile band in the region being able to entertain both conventioneers and college party goers alike. We have an extensive set list spanning decades of music. We love the old as well as the new and we believe that it is important to stay current. We believe in the practice of learning new songs. We feel strongly that our commitment to constantly learn and add songs helps prepare us for the challenge of learning songs that are important to you on your big day.
We have in house production and lighting to fit your needs.
