LIGHTNING HAND

Formed in 2004, LIGHTNING HAND is a Blues-based Rock'n'Roll band from Sacramento, CA. We are the #1 rated Sacramento band in "Rock" and "Weddings" & in the Top5 in "Blues" and "Country" on Gigmasters.com, where we have done most of our online booking.
While we have been described by fans as "Blues/Rock" "Groove/Rock" or "Roots/Rock", LIGHTNING HAND plays a full night of original music & covers. Fans of Eric Clapton, Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, The Band, Rolling Stones, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Black Crowes, Tom Petty, Lynyrd Skynrd and traditional Blues & Country will absolutely love the band!! With 100+ years of experience between us, we are an extremely danceable band that keeps your party on their feet. LIGHTNING HAND has been entertaining crowds in Sacramento and Northern California for quite some time.
We have played big auditoriums as well as small restaraunts and will cater to your needs. You can hear some of our music(covers & originals) at www.Gigmasters.com/Music/Lightninghand. This will give you a general idea of how we sound live. Our own Cd, "Almost To Nowhere" has sparked major interest from labels, fans and critics, allowing LIGHTNING HAND to continue touring the West Coast region.
Make no mistake, LIGHTNING HAND has a unique and original sound, which proudly separates us from bands that just play 'Blues' or just play 'Country'. We do it all, with our own sound. We also encourage our clients to custom-make their own setlists, by chosing whatever songs they would like to hear from our extensive songlist.
LIGHTNING HAND can also play a full night of acoustic-style songs if desired. Think of it as LIGHTNING HAND unplugged. This is more or less our side project. Fans of Americana, Bob Dylan, and traditional Folk,Blues & Country acoustic guitar will enjoy a special evening. If you'd like a more intimate musical experience, then this is what you're looking for.
Find out why LIGHTNING HAND is considered one of Sacramento's premier bands. If you like to dance, boogie or just get down, then LIGHTNING HAND is your band!!!
