This is my 2nd time working with this band and they are wonderful. The professional manner of the coordinator Michael and the engaging personality of the group members is wonderful. This was a party for my mother n law and everyone loved them and they had a ball. They engage the audience and will have you smiling and dancing all night. They were great to work with.
Response from The Michael Bennett Project:
Thank you I was going over my reviews I'm updating my page and doing bigger and better things with many bands.
I have heard the Michael Bennett Project play for 10 years!!! Time and time again they bring the sound, talent and performance that will make you want to follow them whenever they perform!!! Michael Bennett is a good friend and he keeps the show fresh!!! I have DJ'd with this band several times and the criwd always enjoys them!!!
I am 1 of 7 other people called The 65ers Group that hired The Michael Bennett Project as our entertainment for a consolidated birthday celebration of us all turning 65. I had never heard of them but one of our members knew of Michael Bennett's work. Well, I want you to know that I was sold on their talent and professionalism after they completed the first set. These guys sing and play songs so well you would believe the original artist was there performing. The dance floor stayed packed the entire night and our guest had a ball.
Needless to say, our party was a huge hit and several of our guest wanted more information about them to book for some upcoming events...in fact, I hired The Michael Bennett Project for a fundraising event scheduled for April 24, 2020 however due to the Covid-19 shut down we had to cancel it. But they are hired as the entertainment on October 28, 2021 at the World of Beer A&T Homecoming weekend. Our party was the literally the talk of the town for months because of them...I will hire them again and again because this band is the real deal and are bona fide entertainers.
I have followed this group for a few years now! Every time I’ve seen them, they’ve done an outstanding performance. They engage the audience and perform very well, putting there all in all and the talent is superb. My favorite is Let’s Stay Together along with the other wonderful songs in their extensive line up. They are very versatile as well.
Response from The Michael Bennett Project:
I like to thank everyone who comes out to see the group and posting on gigsalad. Thanks
Mike, Kacey, Keith and Turner give an awesome performance every time I attend an event they are playing. I have watched them grow and looking forward to being at future events!
When a female vocalist is featured, they always have a powerhouse singer performing with them.
Keep up the good work guys!

I hired this band for Mother's day annual event we do every year. Michael was so professional and really easy to work with. He was on time and ready with no questions. The band put on a phenomenal performance. I would easily hire them again and will for my Mother's birthday party. Believe me you will not want the to stop. Our group loved them..the singing and the playing. 10 out of 10.
Response from The Michael Bennett Project:
Thank you for your response and we look forward to coming back next year to play again or any other event.
Well my wife and I got hitched. Friends and family came to see us get married but left in ahhhh of the band. The band stole the show which was a good thing. I cannot say enough great things about them. The talent, their personalities and the love for what they do. If I ever have another event where I need a band, they will be the first call. We changed our first dance song at the last minute and the band learned the music and performed it like the original. If you are looking for soulful, R&B , jazz, and/ or Motown Group give The Mike Bennett Project a call, you wont be disappointed.
