The Lonny Lynn Orchestra was a ballroom dance band - playing music from the 30's to the present
with some Country and Latin. The band consisted of ten musicians and a female vocalist. The
orchestra performed 1983-2025.
The orchestra's performance schedule included venues such as
club dances, anniversary and wedding receptions, city functions and concerts in the park.
Each winter, they would play at resorts in Arizona. They've also played aboard eight
cruise ships in the Eastern and Western Caribbean, the Panama Canal, Alaska, Hawaii, the
Mexican Riviera, Canada and New England. Many of their dancing friends have joined them
on these wonderful cruises.
Lonny, in partnership with the Starlite Ballroom in Wahoo, Nebraska, hosted Big Band Fests
twice a year. These dances featured the Lonny Lynn Orchestra in addition to a guest band -
providing five hours of continuous dancing music! Some of the many orchestras that have shared
the stage are Russ Morgan, Jan Garber, Dick Jurgens, and Guy Lombardo.
The orchestra has been the back-up band for stars of the Lawrence Welk show - Clay and Sally
Hart, Mary Lou Metzger, Ralna English and Guy Hovis. They have also performed the pre-show
for the Glenn Miller Orchestra and the Guy Lombardo Orchestra. The Lonny Lynn Orchestra has
produced five recordings. They are available via the website or call Lonny at (402) 480-8889.
