The Bendeth Band was a Canadian rock group active in the late 1970s and early 1980s, led by notable producer and guitarist David Bendeth. They are known for their fusion of rock and jazz elements, a musical style prominently featuring Bendeth's unique guitar playing. Despite their short-lived existence, they made a significant impact with their 1981 album "Feel the Real," which has since become a cult classic in the AOR genre. The band's distinct sound and Bendeth's eventual success as a producer solidify their place in rock and jazz music history.
