Photo of Jungleman Jungleman "Love The Music. Love The Vocals. Like To See You Perform Live" Based in Toronto, Ontario (158 miles from Sarnia) 28th May 2026 Dwayne - Personal Photo of Chi Town Duo Chi Town Duo "These two musicians were very professional and provided a fantastic mix of different types of artists performed flawlessly. If you’re looking for just a run-of-the-mill acoustic duo, these are not the gentleman for you. Highly recommended and well worth the rate we paid." Based in Naperville, Illinois, United States (304 miles from Sarnia) Anthony - Private event Photo of BackForward / Adam Cartwright BackForward / Adam Cartwright "Talented across the board! We were blown away by Adam’s professionalism, attention to detail, musical talent and fun factor at our recent party! The cherry on top was his ability to take great quality professional photos! Adam was a great MC who took my DJ playlist inspiration and ran with it to create the perfect playlist for our party. And we can’t forget the Taylor Swift meets Coachella rendition of Happy Birthday which flowed into Jack & Diane. Such a fantastic addition to the event!"

The alternative bands for hire perform a range of alternative and indie music styles, including indie rock, alternative rock, post-punk, shoegaze and modern alternative hits. Many bands cover well-known alternative tracks from the 1990s through to the present day.

Hiring alternative bands suits a wide range of events including weddings, birthday parties, bar and club nights, corporate events and festivals where clients want something different from a mainstream pop or rock band. The style suits events with a younger or more musically adventurous audience.

Most alternative bands are self-contained and provide their own instruments, amplifiers and PA system. For larger venues or outdoor stages, additional sound equipment may be required. To get the best results, discuss technical requirements with the band before booking.
