Liquid Pleasure

Artist ID: 133

In an industry where the average life of a band is about five years, Liquid Pleasure has set a new standard. As they enter their 29th year, they have firmly established themselves as the South's premiere show and dance band! Three out of the six present musicians who make up Liquid Pleasure are original members and grew up together in the shadow of the campus of UNC Chapel Hill. This type of longevity and consistency combined with exceptional talent, sets Liquid Pleasure apart from the rest. They perform all across the USA from San Francisco to Vegas and New York plus everywhere in between. Over the years, the band has appeared with such notable artists as Paula Abdul, The Temptations, Whitney Houston, The Four Tops, Stacy LL Cool J, Aretha Franklin and Jeffery Osborne.

Whatever the occasion, Liquid Pleasure will treat you to an evening of pure fun and enjoyment!

Leonard Hackney - Lead guitar; Leonard's good natured humor and smooth licks are a driving force behind the band's sound and show. He is also an original member.

They were FABULOUS!!! They played straight through without a break. My daughters love them, as did all the guests and my husband and I. We danced until the end! Thank you and please convey my thanks to Kenny again as well. I will definitely call them again!!

I would like to second my daughter's remarks regarding Liquid Pleasure's performance this weekend. They were truly amazing...the best ever!!!!! Not only are their music and performing terrific, but they are so very interactive and engaging with the guests, young and old, that the experience becomes much more personal and festive. The play list appealed to all ages and even had the adult "cripples" with bad hips and knees out on the dance floor enjoying themselves and feeling young again! They relived a bit of their youth with Motown, Michael Jackson and other artists! Needless to say, the younger guests (and bride and groom) never wanted them to stop playing. I had the opportunity to talk a bit with Kenny, who is a great guy and real professional. Please give him and the entire band our regards and sincere thank you for an extra-special event!

We had a WONDERFUL time. Liquid Pleasure was the hit of the party and I could not get off the dance floor. They are so talented and they absolutely made the wedding. I wish they could be the soundtrack for my life :) We have a few pictures that we wanted to send down to Kenny and the guys when I get them developed. Please tell them how much we enjoyed them, we have some great photos and great memories. All the guests thought they were the best band they have ever seen!

The band was wonderful! Absolutely PERFECT! I have had so many compliments on Liquid Pleasure. I loved how they interacted with the crowd – and apparently everyone else did too – truly, truly fabulous. Thank you so much!
