Name: Benson Brothers
Price range: $$
Rating: 5.0

Inspired by the most grooving, foot-tapping soul-jazz, blues and boogaloo cuts from the 1960s, The Benson Brothers strike a rare balance of feel-good energy and sophisticated charm - think the soundtrack to a Madmen episode, set at a cocktail party in a New York penthouse suite. Comprised of seasoned Wellington musicians, the Benson Brothers dress sharp and are committed to bringing soul and class to every event.

The event was a roaring success and a huge thank you to the Benson Brothers for being there, they were honestly just perfect! My personal dealings with FindaBand and directly with the band were nothing but positive – seamless and effective communication and incredibly talented performers.
