Reviews of Indie Bands available in Riverside

5/5 from 278 reviews
Photo of Erika Davies Jazz Erika Davies Jazz "Unbelievable Talent! A stunning voice. Magical music. They performed for a beautiful gatsby themed party. It couldn’t have gone better! I’ve hired many musicians in the past & Erika was 20 out of 10!" Based in San Diego, California (87 miles from Riverside) Glenn Davis Photo of Jon Gibson Jon Gibson "Michael Courville. Mar 6, 2022 2:01 AM Hi Jon, been a fan of yours for years. The other night while I was researching something on kickstarter a rap song came to me. I am not a song writer I am an Architect, Artist, Poet, Cartoonist and father of 5 great kids and grandfather to 4 beautiful grandkids. I am excited that you are getting back to your mission of music with a message." Based in Las Vegas, Nevada (200 miles from Riverside) Michael Courville - Jon Gibson Photo of Mike Goodrick Mike Goodrick "We've had the pleasure of having Mike play at our Cider Taproom regularly, and the vibe he brings to the room is always a hit. Whether he's covering pop, rock, or indie favorites, he connects with our customers and makes every night feel special. But the real game-changer has been his Acoustic Emo Nights. Every time he hosts one, our profits jump by at least 40% compared to a regular night. The energy is incredible, and the crowd loves the all-requests format. It's become one of our most popular events, and we can't recommend him enough for any venue looking to draw a crowd and keep them coming back." Based in Phoenix, Arizona (308 miles from Riverside) Josh Duren - Restaraunt Photo of Wendy Clark Band Wendy Clark Band "Wendy and her crew are seasoned musicians and engaging performers." Based in Denver, Colorado (793 miles from Riverside) Luke Schmaltz Photo of The Unknowns The Unknowns "There are songs that just stand out because they are so different from everything out there. “Stay Down Kat”, by The Unknowns, is definitely one of those songs. There’s a suave, jazzy, bluesy feel to this song, with great lead and backing vocals. It’s sultry, sensual, mysterious, and controlled, yet it has its powerful moments. And who can resist a great sax solo? Those things will draw you in, and soon The Unknowns will be known." Based in Bellingham, Washington (1,056 miles from Riverside) George Duchow - WRGG Radio Photo of Yve Mary B Yve Mary B "Yve has a voice that will mesmerise you. Having booked her as solo and in her bands,we have always had nothing but praise. A repertoire that will span and please all ages a beautiful voice and a beautiful and very talented lady. - Paul Lusher" Based in Auburn, Alabama (1,838 miles from Riverside) Paul Lusher - Venue Owner

Frequently asked questions

Pricing for indie bands ranges from $140 to $2,250+, with an average of $550. Rates depend on the number of band members, performance length and the equipment supplied. Indie bands range from stripped-back acoustic outfits to full electric line-ups, so the size and style of the act is the primary factor in cost.

The indie bands for hire perform indie rock, indie pop, alternative and guitar-driven music covering both classic indie anthems and modern indie hits. Many bands have a distinctive sound that brings an authentic live music atmosphere to events.

Hiring indie bands is a popular choice for weddings, birthday parties, bar and pub events, corporate parties and festivals. Indie music appeals to audiences who want something more distinctive than mainstream pop and rock cover bands.

Many indie bands play a mix of well-known indie covers and their own original material. Some bands focus entirely on covers of popular indie songs, while others are original artists who also take cover requests. It is a good idea to check each band's profile for their repertoire.

Wedding bookings are common, and many acts build a set that stays quieter during the meal before moving to a full electric performance later in the evening. Most will learn a first dance song given a few weeks' notice. Couples who want the same sound during the ceremony usually book a stripped-back acoustic line-up of the same act.

Four or five players is the most common shape, usually vocals, guitar, bass and drums, with keys added where the material calls for it. Three-piece acts work well in smaller rooms and cost less to book. Larger line-ups adding brass or extra vocals are available where the stage and the budget allow.

Most are self-contained for pub, bar and small function work, bringing a PA suited to the room and basic stage lighting. Larger venues, festival stages and outdoor bookings usually need production supplied separately. Giving the act the room size and whether a house system is available lets them judge what to bring.

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard.

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.
