For nearly two decades, The Fender Benders has been one of Utah's favorite acts, and it’s easy to understand why. Everyone loves this music! People of all ages are clapping and smiling and singing along with the songs,











and children are often seen dancing in front of the stage.













The Fender Benders sound like you’ve traveled back in time to the 1970s and 1980s, only better! This is high-energy classic rock at its best: well-known songs from the best bands of the golden era of mainstream rock, such as Journey, The Eagles, Tom Petty, Bryan Adams, BTO, Santana, Doobie Brothers, and so on. Songs that all generations know and love, performed by some of the best musicians in the area!







Between the four members of the band, there are over 100 years of performing experience. On lead guitar, Rich Bischoff is one of the best guitarists in northern Utah. He teaches guitar and runs a recording studio. On keyboards and rhythm guitar is Irv Nelson, who also teaches private music lessons professionally. Eric Hendriksen is fantastic on bass guitar, Steve Roberts is their awesome drummer.







Something unusual about The Fender Benders is that all four band members are excellent lead singers. This gives them four different sounding voices that provide the variety needed to stay true to the style and sound of many different rock bands, and it also allows intricate vocal harmonies. Their state-of-the-art instruments also provide a huge range of vintage guitar and keyboard tones. Unlike most cover bands that have one sound and all the songs seem to boringly blend together, The Fender Benders has a wonderful variety, with just the right sound for each song.











The Fender Benders put on a great show, with very broad demographic appeal. Fun banter and dance contests for various age groups are part of the performance. Unlike some rock bands, The Fender Benders are family-friendly, with community-appropriate lyrics, costumes, and stage demeanor. Over the last 15 years, they have played at scores of arts fairs, county fairs, city celebrations, concerts in the park, corporate and university events, private parties, and similar events with children present, up and down the Wasatch Front and beyond, from Pocatello to Richfield.











This band is the real deal. NO backing tracks!! Everything is live, everything is real, and everything is professional. Guaranteed to be a crowd PLEASER! Because of the combination of fun song choices, top-quality musicianship, and no worries about appropriate language, lyrics, clothing, and stage demeanor, The Fender Benders always get favorable crowd reactions and are often invited back to events and venues, year after year.
