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.

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!

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.

We booked Anders Drerup for a tenant appreciation event for our office building. The group was awesome! Our tenants loved the live music and song selection. Our property backs up to a pickleball court that has a playground, and the children there were dancing around and making song requests. The band even played rock n' roll versions of Wheels on the Bus and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for them, which was hilarious. Many people commented on how much they enjoyed the band and that it was the best tenant event we've ever had. I highly recommend them!
I can’t saw enough good things about their performance and their professionalism. They are very talented and really made a difference at my mom’s party. I highly recommend!

For my wife’s 50th birthday party, I booked Anders Drerup for our party. I’m glad I did! Anders Is amazing! Very engaging and gets the crowd involved. He plays a wide variety of music and transitions those songs perfectly. I also want to mention his professional approach. He communicates with you days before the event and helps lay out a plan for arrival time.
Anders and his band were exactly the right band for our friend's 40th birthday party - the pre-event communication was very much appreciated, the set list was awesome, and most importantly the performance was a huge hit with the party! I cannot more greatly recommend Anders - book confidently!

Anders and his band were the perfect complement to our party! The music was awesome— with a variety of songs from country to pop/rock. From the first set to the last, guests were asking where I found them! A terrific time was had by all! Anders is also great to work with and was very responsive to any questions I had prior to the event. Highly recommend!

Guitarist, Singer/Songwriter
Anders was great! I knew after listening to some of his work that he was the right one for our event. He's a great guy to talk to, knowledgable in the art of live performance, and I will definitely be reaching out to him again in the future.
Acoustic 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!
Absolutly loved these guys!!! Will definitly have them back!!
Americana Band, Classic Rock Band, Cover Band
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.

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!

Professionals all around.
Party Band
The band was punctual, organized, and most of all - super chill and approachable. Love their personalities and friendliness. We plan on scaling it up for next year’s event and have them kick it with us again!
We took fun videos of the event. Attached are the only photos available for now.
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.
Guitarist
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 and his team are professional, on time, easy to work with and entertained everyone in the crowd! I can't wait to plan another event so we can have them back. I will recommend them to everyone I know looking for a band.

Response from Anders Drerup:
Aw, you guys were so great to work with too! We had a lovely time with you all too. Thank you for being so professional and easy to work with! A lovely way to kick off our run in Colorado and we can’t wait to do it again!!
We had a blast with Anders! He made our outdoor birthday, pool party surprise amazing! Anders is super talented, communicative, and very easy to work with. He has a highly distinctive style and such a fun personality. Thank you Anders!
Guitarist
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!

Booking Info
Price Range: $750 and up.
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.
