Overview

We are the Sharp Dressed Men from Madison, WI
We are a classic/alternative/blues rock cover band. We cover a wide variety of artists and are very much guitar forward. We have played in and around the Madison area since 2017. We are not just another garage band in cargo shorts, t-shirts and flip flops. We dress to impress and to make our moms proud! We're high energy, low key, approachable and fun.
We are available for festivals, bar and club shows, private and corporate events in and around south central Wisconsin.

Gig length: 90 - 180 minutes

What to expect

We are guitar forward and high energy. We generally play two 90 minute sets with a short bathroom and water break in between sets. We like to pack the dance floor with proven dance songs and a few "belly rubbers" thrown in. You'll hear a lot of familiar classic rock songs with an occasional curve ball. We like to have fun and keep you entertained.

About

We are a classic/alternative/blues rock cover band from Madison, WI. We cover a variety of artists including, ZZ Top, Chuck Berry, Joe Walsh, The Marshall Tucker Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, BTO, The Georgia Satellites, Eagles, Dwight Yoakam, Eric Clapton, Kiss, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Dead Pirates, and many others.

We have played in and around the Madison area since 2017 and many fans are curious about our name. We get it. We love ZZ Top as much as anyone but we are not a tribute band. We are also not just another garage band in cargo shorts, t-shirts and flip flops. We dress to impress and to make our moms proud!

Lead singer, Dan, supplies mega energy while our talented guitarists, Norm, Todd and Eric swap leads and solos. The bottom end and rhythm sections are held down by Mark on bass and Curt on drums. We're high energy, low key, approachable and fun.

We are available for festivals, bar and club shows, private and corporate events in and around south central Wisconsin.

Additional booking notes

SDM (Sharp Dressed Men) is a 6 member ensemble. We can, and have, fit on some pretty small stages but we do best when we have room to move around. A 10X20 stage would be great. We provide our own backline and in cases where there is no house PA, we bring our own sound and lighting engineers.
