The Dads Band

Just a Bunch of Old Farts Who Got the Band Back Together

There are a lot of good bands out there, but there is something unique when the band authentically loves what they do, and who they do it with!  The Dads Band is a group of live performance veterans featuring former members of Cain's Alibi, Mace, The Shaw Band and Crosstown Traffic.  The Dads not only bring the musical chops, but a rare energy and rock and roll edge that creates a huge in your face sound.  Unlike other bands, we don't play all the time, so when we do - its an event!  We play because its fun and we love making music together - and that no BS attitude and focus on entertaining the audience comes through in every show!  The Dads band brings the goods whether its a club or large festival/event, we always leave the crowd wanting more!
