Testimonials
I highly recommend Ian Lane to anyone looking for a Jimmy Buffett style beach music experience. Superb guitar player and vocalist and his electronics and arrangements sound like a 5 piece band. His tropical stage setup and various hats just added to the island experience. We will definitely be booking him again very soon.
– Roses Run Country Club
Ian was awesome! He arrived early to set up and then proceed to play and entertain non-stop for the entire party. His wide variety of songs appealed to all ages. He is an outstanding talent with tremendous versatility. His equipment was top notch and provided a very professional sound. All who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves and I heard nothing but positive comments. He made the party an event to remember. I would highly recommend Ian and will be booking him for a future event.
– Mavra C.
I couldn't be more pleased with the performance of Ian Lane during our event. He is truly talented and the clips on the site didn't compare to listening to him in person. I received so many inquiries on how my guests could hire him for their private event. He was very flexible and accommodating and and took requests as he was playing. I have seen a lot of solo guitarists, but he's the best that I've seen.
