Photo of The Defibrillators The Defibrillators "The Defibrillators - Soul / Motown Band - Austin, Texas Event Location: Austin, Little Longhorn Saloon Event Type: Lounge live band Fun band! Plays Motown favorites! They fill the dance floor! Reviewed by: Jack" Based in Austin, Texas 4th April 2026 Jack - night club Photo of The Lonely Hearts Club The Lonely Hearts Club "This is a very entertaining band of professional musicians. Even the geekyest dancers will end up on the dance floor. I did, at Old Oak Square in Marble Falls. The bassist can duplicate McCartney's basslines note for note, flawlessly, and even adds a few licks on the Hofner bass that McCartney didn't think of. His vocals are pitch perfect and his range is impressive. From Helter Skelter to Hey Jude, this performer shines. Too bad he's not left handed. The multinstrumental keyboardist sounds eerily like Lennon, as does the lead guitarist/frontman. Either one can nail a lead vocal, or background harmony. Along with their steady Ringoesque drummer, this band captures the essence of the Beatles from the early years to the psychedelic period, and the rooftop concert. I've Got a Feeling you will thoroughly enjoy this group." Based in Austin, Texas Rockindocofages Photo of The Decades Band The Decades Band "Review from Laura C. from venue 'The Vineyard At Florence'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "So good! So good! Just heard this band in Florence at the Vineyard! They were amazing! Her vocals were excellent and his guitar playing was incredible! The variety of songs were so familiar and it sounded so good! Would highly recommend them!" Based in Austin, Texas Laura C. - Review was from August 19, 2023 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 Sonia Degrace - Private Event Photo of XFactory Band XFactory Band "These guys are pros for sure. They have been playing along time and it shows in their shows. The songs are really well recreated and they put on a good show." Based in Georgetown, Texas (26 miles from Austin) 19th September 2026 Thomas M - Club Gig 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!"

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring cover bands is $1,000, with prices from $210 to $3,550+. Pricing is mainly driven by the number of band members, performance duration and whether the band supplies its own sound and lighting equipment. Cover bands range from small acoustic acts to large party bands, so the line-up and production level have the biggest impact on cost.

Many cover bands are happy to learn a specific song for a first dance or other special moment. To get the best results, make this request as early as possible, as some songs require additional rehearsal. Most bands will learn at least one special request at no extra charge.

Most cover bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments, amplifiers and stage lighting for standard event venues. For larger spaces or outdoor events, additional equipment may be required. It is a good idea to confirm all technical and staging details with the band before booking.

The cover bands for hire cover a huge range of genres including pop, rock, soul, funk, disco, indie, hip hop and current chart hits. Many cover bands specialise in a particular era or style, while others offer a broad mix designed to appeal to all ages and tastes. Browsing band profiles on Gig Heaven is the best way to find the right musical fit.

Hiring cover bands is one of the most popular entertainment choices for weddings, corporate events, birthday parties, festivals and private celebrations. A good cover band plays recognisable songs that get guests singing and dancing, making them a reliable option for events where a full dance floor is the goal.

Standard performance times for cover bands are two to three hours, usually split into two or three sets. Many function bands offer DJ or background music services between sets, and some can extend their evening with additional acoustic or DJ-only slots. Performance formats can usually be adjusted to fit the event schedule.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
