Who are we?
We are the Sharp Dressed Men from Madison, WI
High Energy, danceable classic rock, baby!
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 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 and central Wisconsin.
