Twenty years in

The band.

The songs.

The shows.

Flannigan's Right Hook is Cameron Russell, Michael Cochran, Coleen Dieker, and Paul Greenlease. Twenty years of work covering tunes from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and beyond.

With multiple albums, FRH writes original music, records it, and plays it live. The music catalog continues to grow, the live show got louder, and the band continues to excel.

Playing at festivals, clubs, and city, corporate, and private events, the members offer a variety of styles and arrangements for any venue, audience and budget.
