Reviews of Alternative Bands available in Dallas

5/5 from 125 reviews
Photo of Tom Breton Tom Breton "Tom was amazing! I hired him for my private event and he was so professional! He played exactly what I wanted and all my friends loved his performance! I will hire him again next year!" Based in Austin, Texas (182 miles from Dallas) Sonia Degrace - Private Event Photo of Kelany & the All-Nighters Kelany & the All-Nighters "Kelany was my favorite vendor to work with for my husband and I's wedding. She brought professionalism, a full heart, and an incredible voice (!!!) to our special day. To this day, we keep getting compliments from our guests about Kelany and the band. We gave her a list of songs from our pop/punk upbringing + some modern classics to play and the band crushed every single one, including an incredible cover of "Love Me Down" by Ludo that my unhinged husband danced to with his mom. We knew that we wanted a band that we could truly rock out to without all the bells and whistles of your traditional wedding band. Also, they are competitively priced (aka affordable!) compared to other quotes we were getting in Austin. Thank you so much for making our day so magical!" Based in San Marcos, Texas (211 miles from Dallas) Tiffany P - Wedding Photo of Wendy Clark Band Wendy Clark Band "Wendy and her crew are seasoned musicians and engaging performers." Based in Denver, Colorado (662 miles from Dallas) Luke Schmaltz 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!" Based in Naperville, Illinois (782 miles from Dallas) Derek - Private Party Photo of Jimi King Trio Jimi King Trio "Awesome! Jimi and the guys were SO good--perfect for our event and loved by our team and guests! Jimi was super-responsive with communications--very nice to work with. Will definitely book them again in the future! Hired as: Blues Band, Classic Rock Band" Based in Raleigh, North Carolina (1,056 miles from Dallas) 7th October 2026 Laura L. H. - Corporate Event Photo of Blood Moon Mafia Blood Moon Mafia "We highly recommend Blood Moon Mafia. We hired them for our daughter's 14th birthday party and they were amazing! Incredibly talented group of artists, from the singer to the drummer to the guitarists, they more than delivered. Our daughter curated a playlist for them to use and they put together a very enjoyable mini concert and everyone was blown away. They more than met our expectations and we would definitely hire them again!" Based in Miami, Florida (1,110 miles from Dallas) 17th September 2026 Marley A. - Private event
