“I am taking voice lessons with Lori – and as a total beginner, I was pretty nervous starting out. Lori makes each lesson easy-going, no pressure, encouraging, educational…and FUN! I feel very comfortable with her and that means the world to me. Highly recommend!”

“Lori sang at our wedding. It was the perfect touch to our perfect day. Her voice is breathtaking. Everyone loved that we had a singer and she was amazing. A joy at the wedding and so easy to work with. She sang during our ceremony and for all the formal dances. I can’t thank you enough for making our day that more special. Highly recommend for all party and events.”

“We hired Lori Lynner for our wedding in July 2022. It was a wonderful decision. Lori is professional and put together a great experience for us and all our guests. Lori Lynner Music got the party going! I am still receiving complements on how fabulous Lori and her band were. The performance of the band from when they took the stage to them closing out our party was fantastic. Lori took care of the music before during and after the ceremony, she MC’d the meal and speeches. I am delighted I found Lori and unreservedly recommend her for your event.”

“LORI IS EPIC. We spoke to a few bands before and were unimpressed and a quick Google search led us to Lori and Modern Tribe. Communicating with her was so EASY. We had very specific ideas about music and she worked with us to make sure our wedding day was absolutely perfect. She understood us, as a couple musically and then our wedding was basically A CONCERT. She went above and beyond learning even more songs for us, brainstorming with us and rolling with the punches the night of. She is BADASS and a brilliant performer!”

“Modern Tribe was amazing! They played at our wedding and absolutely made the party! Lori was awesome to work with- quick, friendly communication, always available when we needed her, and even proactive in antipating our needs. We initially thought they would just play the reception, but Lori was able to configure the group to play live music during the ceremony and cocktail hour as well. Everybody involved was professional, high quality, and fantastic in all respects. The song list to choose from was so much fun and Lori took the time to really understand what we wanted out of the party as well. She MC’d the whole wedding wonderfully and we really appreciate everything she, and the whole band did, to make our wedding an amazing event.”

“Wow – it’s impossible to say enough good things about Modern Tribe. They were the stars of our wedding! Lori worked with us through a whole lot of COVID uncertainty (including a reschedule), with patience and kindness. She was thoughtful about her approach to the flow of the music at our ceremony and reception, and walked through the venue with us in advance to talk through the order of the day. Their catalog of songs is super diverse and full of so many hits it was hard to narrow down our choices! And they learned a few new songs for us to make the music personal, which meant so much to us. Throughout the evening the band knew exactly what type of music to play to fit the energy of the crowd, and my friends told me they didn’t leave the dance floor all night! We so appreciate Lori’s attention to detail throughout the process, her patience with our relatives, and the amazing job she did with each and every song. We recommend Modern Tribe to everyone with a wedding, they are absolutely incredible!”

“Modern Tribe is the best to work with. After having to move our wedding three different times due to fraudulent wedding venues, COVID, and wildfires, Lori was SO flexible each time we had to change plans (even willing to drive 5 hours to our new wedding venue after everything). Our wedding planner works with bands as part of her day job (wedding planning on the side) and she said Modern Tribe was the easiest and most flexible band she has ever worked with. Modern Tribe gives you an extensive list of songs to choose from and also will learn a few songs! They never played any song we didn’t ask them to, but they also read the room so well and ended up playing more upbeat songs instead of slow songs because our guests were dancing so much. Thank you Lori and the rest of Modern Tribe for being a part of our special day. We’d recommend them to anyone!”

“Modern Tribe was amazing! They played at our wedding and were absolutely incredible – we were so happy to have found them! Lori and the band have a diverse song catalogue and they worked patiently with us to plan the songs for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dancing. We could not have been more impressed with them – they sounded great and kept the wedding group on the dancefloor all night. We hope to have an excuse to hire them again and would absolutely recommend!”

“We were lucky enough to have Lori and her accompanist Eugene Bien perform for our “drive-thru” Holiday event last week at The Landing in Renton. Our guests loved her voice and her fun renditions of popular holiday songs. Lori and her musicians always deliver a top notch performance. They are highly professional and the music is always wonderful.”
Jocelyn P. (private party host) says: 5 stars
“Incredibly talented group of musicians that were such a pleasure to listen to. The music variety is second to none, with sets from nearly any decade to modern day genres. They cater to the audience and Lori the band manager is friendly, responsive, professional and talented. Thank you for sharing your talents with the Pacific Northwest Modern Tribe. You’re definitely the go-to band for variety and fun for any age group.”

“Modern Tribe Band did an amazing for us!! Pre-gig, Lori helped review the set list (which they can play a ton of fun songs) well in advance for us. What else can I say besides their music was sensational from the first note to the last!! They brought exceptional effort and energy to keep our party going!! We highly recommend their services.”

“How can I possibly put into words how much fun Modern Tribe brought to our wedding?? Our family and friends absolutely adored them. They are complete professionals that obviously love what they do. I cannot say it enough that if you choose this band for your wedding, you will not regret it. Lori is amazing to work with! Chad is fantastic on stage and wow does the entire band just know how to ROCK! We were seriously dancing on that floor! Not only was the reception high-energy, but the music throughout the night, from the light jazzy music we chose for guest arrival, thru the ceremony, cocktail hour, to the sweet, classy sounds at dinner – it was all perfect. On a night where, as a bride, you don’t want to be worrying, this band left me without a worry. And, matter of fact, quelled many of my would-be worries I’m sure because everyone was so entertained! Thank you all so much for being there for us on our day. I cannot wait until we have an excuse to throw a party and hire you again! We love Modern Tribe!”

“Modern Tribe was incredible as our wedding band!! We decided to take a chance on them based on the few videos we found online and their extensive repertoire list, and it paid off big time. Lori was helpful and communicative throughout the planning process, and very patient with us as we spent a long time deciding on our first dance song. She offered to learn up to three songs free of charge, and she and the band held a rehearsal specifically for our wedding. Lori also generously arrived several hours early to let us borrow her keyboard and microphone so that my brothers, who are jazz musicians, could perform during the appetizer hour before dinner.From the very beginning of our dance reception, the dance floor was full and everyone was having a blast. Lori and the band played the most EPIC long hora medley and it was the highlight of the party! My grandma, who flew from across the country, was dancing the hora on the dance floor (despite her arthritis!) and having the time of her life. Lori also helped us coordinate a surprise Bollywood-style flash mob dance, cueing up the music for us to surprise the groom. Throughout the whole evening, the seven-member band was on point. Their sound was excellent, their covers were beautifully done, and they read the room to keep the energy going all night. They seamlessly transitioned from classics like the Beatles and Earth, Wind and Fire to today’s hits like Mumford and Sons and Taylor Swift. The band even got an encore after the last song and gracefully obliged with one last song! Thank you SO much Modern Tribe for helping us throw the best and most memorable wedding party that our family and friends will be raving about for years to come!”

“Modern Tribe is simply the best wedding and event band around. I know this is a bold statement but Lori Lynner and her band including Chad Quist delivered a perfect evening at our Santa Barbara wedding. From Chad’s perfect processional on acoustic guitar to soul and funk, he was on point. We requested special songs for Chad and Lori to learn, from Grateful Dead’s Shakedown Street to Blondie’s Rapture, they never missed a beat and did covers that sounded like the original artists. Modern Tribe kept our party on the dance floor all night long! The range and foresight Lori provided were beyond our expectations. She helped us select a perfect set list and guided the evening with our guest’s enjoyment in mind. Our guests commented over and over they felt like they were at a concert as opposed to a wedding reception! We highly recommend Modern Tribe and will absolutely be hiring them for any future events.”

“Modern Tribe is so much fun! They have played at our company event 2 years in a row and our team loves them! Lori and the gang put on a great show, they get everyone up and dancing and are very engaging with the crowd. Makes for a good time for everyone. Country, pop, latin and hip-hop! They play it all! I highly recommend them for any type of event. They are very professional to work with.”

“Modern Tribe recently played at our wedding and they were absolutely incredible. They got the crowd going with their energy and phenomenal musical ability. Modern Tribe even got people on their feet dancing before the salad was served (and before dancing was set to begin)! The musicianship was superb, Lori’s voice was amazing and Chad ripped out some incredible guitar solos. The ensemble sang and played at a very high level. We received dozens of compliments from the guests who told us that they were blown away had never seen a wedding band of Modern Tribe’s caliber. The band interacted with the audience, even sharing the mike on a couple of songs. People raved about the Modern Tribe throughout the evening and the dance floor was always packed with people dancing the night away. We would highly recommend Modern Tribe to anyone and you would be hard pressed to find a better band in Los Angeles!”

“Awesome band! We hired them for our holiday party and they kept us engaged and dancing the whole night. Chad Quist is amazing and Lori was wonderful too. I would highly recommend these guys for any party you want to throw as they will make sure your guests have a wonderful time. We’ll definitely be hiring them again for future events!!”

“What a startling performance! Modern Tribe’s music made my company’s summer event an outstanding success. Modern Tribe performed a rich repertoire of cover songs including rock, pop and, as a special request they we are able to include some Latin music, Salsa and Cumbias sung in Spanish. As the coordinator of my company’s event the experience with Modern Tribe was great from beginning to end. Lori, the band’s manager, worked with me side-by-side as we completed the proper administrative paperwork (contracts, payments, insurance, etc.). I recommend Modern Tribe to anybody who is looking for a high class performance – they will give life to your event.”

“Modern Tribe played our Christmas Party a couple years back and they were a hit! They had great selection, great on-stage presence and their chemistry is wonderful. They knew how to stay in the background during the cocktail hour but also knew how to get the party started! I loved their energy and they honestly have a good time while they perform. Lori is also on iTunes, you should check her out! I highly recommend for all your band needs.”

“Lori brought a great band for the New Year’s Eve celebrations at the Arroyo Chop House in Pasadena several years running. The crowd loved them; Lori and the band did a totally professional job with a wide variety of music. Highly recommended!”
