The Dream Tellers are a 60s rock n’ roll-inspired trio from the San Francisco Bay Area. By first bonding over a love of the Beatles, multi-instrumentalists Xavier Guerrero, Nicholas Lyon-Wright, and Alex Scot Hall formed a band to both honor the craft of their favorite classic rock songs, and to create their own retro-inspired sound. All are highly skilled and professional musicians, with decades of music teaching, composing, playing, and live performance experience between them.
We had the Dream Tellers at our outdoor summer concert and they were SO much fun! They played covers from the 60s, 70s and even a little 90s as well as original music. Their manager made sure everything was seamless leading in to the event and they arrived on time, sound checked quickly and really played to the energy of the crowd - they had people dancing the whole way through! I loved seeing how they could switch instruments throughout the set as well, showing their true skill and talent as musicians. Thank you for making our summer concert so fun and memorable - we got SO many compliments about the band, everyone had a fabulous time! Thank you!!
These guys made my party a success. They came right on time, were professional and played really good music! Everybody thoroughly enjoyed themselves and kept asking me how I found such a great band? I am so pleased with them and so grateful that I managed to find them. They even let my husband (the birthday boy) play the drums with them which made him really happy. They knew how to work the crowd, had a great attitude and again just made my party a success! The only other thing to mention is they were very affordable! I'm guessing the prices are going to go up as they gain popularity but for now they were by far the most affordable band I could find.

Here's what you can expect when you book the Dream Tellers for your event!
Before the event, we will communicate with you to make sure we're playing the songs you love -- we can learn new songs upon request (depending on length of time before the gig and subject to possible additional fee). If your event is open to the public, we'll also promote it on our social media.
The day of the event, we will arrive on time and with all equipment needed. We set up and sound check fast, then are ready to rock n' roll at our set start time. We can play up to three hours with breaks, or two hours without breaks. We love engaging with the crowd, encouraging dancing and singing along!
After the gig, we break down quickly and will check with our host before departing.
The Dream Tellers are a 60s rock n’ roll-inspired group from the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area. Multi-instrumentalists Xavier Guerrero and Nicholas Lyon-Wright first bonded over a love of the Beatles, learning every detail of their song construction and sonic style. They formed the Dream Tellers in 2010 to celebrate their favorite classic rock songs and to perform their own original retro-inspired work, performing locally in the Diablo Valley Area. After a few years on other projects, the duo came together in 2020, and in 2023 added drummer Alex Scot Hall to complete the band. All three are highly skilled and professional musicians, with decades of music teaching, composing, playing, and live performance experience between them.
Their live performances are a blend of classic rock from different decades, as well as their own original tunes inspired by that sound. The Dream Tellers’ enthusiasm for the music and rock n’ roll history can be seen – and heard – as soon as they step on stage.
Access to electricity essential. If the venue can provide a sound system and / or engineer to assist sound check, that's great, but not necessary. We typically bring two guitars, a bass guitar, a keyboard, a cocktail drum set, and all microphones and stands.
