The BEST Band in Austin!!

Anders was phenomenal! I booked him and his band for a corporate event and everyone including myself had an amazing experience. I appreciate that he's versatile, so we listened to all types of music. It was a smooth transition throughout the entire set. The instruments his band played was top notch as well! Thank you so much Anders! We look forward to working with you in the future.

NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING

Anders and his band literally was the best thing we could have had for our party. They had such a great variety of songs, interacted with the crowd, and kept us jammin! Not to mention, everyone was very friendly, respectable, and ON TIME. If I could rate more than five stars I would. Love Them!

Fantastic Band

Anders and his band played at our son’s wedding in San Marcos. The music was fantastic, everyone danced and enjoyed the music. Anders was wonderful to work with and was so nice and accommodating. Hiring Anders was one of the best decisions we made! We highly recommend this band. He is everyone’s new favorite band.

Everyone at our event loved the music and had a wonderful time. They are still talking about the experience this morning and requesting we have him back for future conferences. He was extremely easy to work, very responsive, and truly enhanced our event. 10 out of 10 would hire again!

Very Professional, and entertaining!

From the get go, Anders was professional and eager to provide the type of entertainment we were requesting. He was always very quick to respond, and did well rolling with the punches when last minute bad weather required us to move from an outside venue to an inside venue. I would definitely recommend hiring Anders and his band for your next event.

Amazing!

We hired Anders Drerup for a corporate event at Stubbs BBQ while we were visiting Austin. Myself and the entire team were so impressed by the performance! Everyone still keeps asking me about them! Music was incredible - perfect fit for our group!! We will def. book them again if we're out in Texas - although, my CEO wants to book them for CA events ;)

Highly recommend!

WONDERFUL musician!

Anders was great at communicating, on time, and was able to provide the perfect atmosphere for our event. It was just himself completely acoustic, and it really showed off how talented he was! Super nice, wonderful to work with, and will definitely be reaching out to him for anything in the future.

Amazing Performance!

Anders & his band were incredible! They were polite, professional, and most importantly: kick a** on stage. Their performance blew me, & everyone at the event, away. I will definitely hire them again. Their originals and covers were great -- anyone who covers The Meters is all right in my book. Thanks for giving a special performance, Anders!

Anders was amazing!

I hired Anders to record a song I'd written. I provided the lyrics and a previous recording I'd commissioned through a Swedish composer. I needed the song to be a country version for the USA market. Anders hit the nail on the head the very first time, and with a little tweaking, the song was perfect. I think it has "hit" written all over it. Time will tell. The whole process took only a few days from start to finish. The main thing is that I have more songs to write and record. Anders will be my singing guitarist from here on out... no doubt! You may even be hearing the song on the radio before long. Yes, it's that good. Keep your eye (and ears) out for 'City Gal' by Anders Drerup. I'll be using the song to promote the first book in my series, 'Into Autumn', which inspired the song. Anders will be doing at least three more for the remainder of the books in the series. Why? Because he is amazing at what he does. Are you getting the idea that I'd recommend this guy? Hell yeah!

What to Expect

I am punctual and prepared, if a performance calls for extra equipment I will show up with it and possess the skills to run it. My performances and set lists can be tailored to each client. My performance style has been described as warm and engaging but if I am expected to be "heard but not heard from" I am well versed in delivering that product. If dress code is necessary I am comfortable in everything from casual friday to black tie affair.

About

Born in Ontario Canada, Anders has covered a lot of ground. From vocalist in Cuban supergroups to playing pedal steel in touring bands across Europe to rock guitarist in bands touring China he has always kept his career moving. At the age of 38 Anders holds an impressive resume including operating a successful recording studio and teaching practice, critically acclaimed stage acting work, credits on more albums than he has fingers and toes and even sang his way to a spot on Nick Jonas' team on NBC's The Voice. Versatility has always been one of Drerup’s strongest skills and he can move seamlessly between several styles of music (and even different languages) without breaking a sweat. His original music has been described as Americana in that it pays frequent and respectful visits to the great American styles: Country, Blues, R&B and Funk. Always with a signature touch of wit and humour. Anders plays and tours with some of Austin's finest musicians. They are just as comfortable wrapping a room around their finger with an original song as they are whipping a room into a frenzy with time tested covers and do so with 100% of their considerable skill and talent. Anders lives in Austin Texas and continues, as always, to work at making the world a better place through music.

Additional Booking Notes

I own and operate a PA system suitable for an audience of approximately 500 people. I do not provide lighting but I am able to rent and run as much or little as is necessary to fill the requirements of the event.
