Reviews of Alternative Bands available in Ohio

5/5 from 135 reviews
Photo of Weird Science Weird Science "I saw them in Decatur. If you listened to new wave back in the 80's, you really should see the band. It will take you back." Based in Fort Wayne, Indiana Jamie Barton 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 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!" Based in Naperville, Illinois Derek - Private Party Photo of Jungleman Jungleman "Love The Music. Love The Vocals. Like To See You Perform Live" Based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada 28th May 2026 Dwayne - Personal Photo of Generation Rewind 90's Band Generation Rewind 90's Band "Amazing is the word to describe this band! Hired for a corporate event, and they did not disappoint! From the lead singer to the keyboard player, I was really impressed with how professional and talented they were. If I am not mistaken, the keyboardist and singer toured for Beyonce and Ceelo Green. The drummer had energy for days, and the bass player and guitar player were very talented. The male lead singer talked to the crowd and had a great voice. I would definitely hire them again." Based in Nashville, Tennessee 28th September 2026 Rebecca B - corporate event 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 7th October 2026 Laura L. H. - Corporate Event
