Description

The Fender Benders are an 7-piece band from Bowling Green, KY. They have been in various forms since 1989. The core of this incarnation has been together since 1993. Known mostly as a Motown/Stax style cover band, but have written strong original songs with a Blues/R&B style. With great vocals and a tight grooving band behind them, they will pull at your heartstrings and then make you get up and dance to their higher energy songs! The shows are always bringing in new friends and fans!
