About Me

"BENNY AND THE JETS BAND".313 730 1627 [email protected]"Benny and the Jets" are the same band that recorded 3 LPs IN THE 1970s, toured the U.S. and Canada IN THE 1980s, were invited to "the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame" IN THE 1990s, and our "BennyandtheJets.com" web site got 550,000 HITS IN THE 2000s.Just a "Detroit Rock N' Roll Band". good band, sharp dressed, nice guys!"BOOK THE BAND" ((((OR BENNY AS A SOLO)))) 313 730 1627We do a wide rage of gigs, from the $200 neighborhood bar gig, to the $2000 concert, with all the clubs, casinos, weddings, grand openings, parties, city and church festivals, concerts and events in between.In the old days we toured and did gigs with "Chubby Checker", "the Coasters", "Bob Seger", "Ted Nugent", "Question Mark and the Mysterians" and "Paul Revere and the Raiders"..... We backed up "Freddy Boom Boom Cannon" and "Bo Diddley". (((((((also see Benny and Bo Diddley BBC radio interview with "Roger Daltry" OF "THE WHO" -BLOG))))))) We worked for Auto-rama, Dick Clark and Richard Nator. Performed in the Kingdome, Skydome, Astrodome, Silverdome. When the United States Government needed a band to play at the unveiling of the Bill Haley rock and roll stamp they hired-"Benny and the Jets band". More recently we opened shows for "Kentucky Headhunters", "Humble Pie", "Marshall Tucker", "Bad Finger", "Rick Derringer" and "Eddie Money". We played the "Harley Davidson" anniversary ride across America. The "Woodward Dream Cruise" and video with 'Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels". Advertised as the first band to play the new Ford Field Stadium in downtown Detroit. We did JTtheBrick.com sports radio tour with stops in Boston, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Tampa and Miami.The band is very portable, easy in, easy out, self contained. We do a nice mix of music. DJ AND KARAOKE available- No job TO BIG, no job TO SMALL. Soooo many people see all the things we have done and think we are too big or expensive. Were not. We really have done it all, from retirement homes to kids shows, from biker parities to back yard parties. We know how to play to the audience in front of us. We like to get the audience involved, we entertain them, do some games and contests, teach them about the HISTORY of ROCK and ROLL. And like "KID ROCK" sings on his Cocky CD song 3 "Lay in on Me" "Benny and the Jets" are HOT...
