Ricky Bobby music did a fantastic job at our recent high school reunion. It was perfect from start to finish! They engaged with the audience, were flexible with our needs/ requests/ and very reliable. We had a group of 150 and I can’t tell you how many people told me how much they loved this band!
Vocals / Bass
Rik came up fronting Austin rock bands on the Sixth Street club circuit with Dirty Oliver. He writes and records original music as the Rik Avalos Band at Austin’s 512 Studios, and his range is enormous: the low Garth Brooks growl of Friends in Low Places and a Smokey Robinson falsetto in the same night. Singer, bassist, songwriter, and the reason nothing on our setlist gets transposed down to make it easier.
Vocals / Guitar
Bob has played guitar on Austin stages at clubs, festivals and private events with bands like the Rave and Slippery Fish, and he plays lead guitar in the Rik Avalos Band today. He sings lead and harmony with the range to cover the originals faithfully, and he plays every guitar part and solo of the night: true to the record when the song calls for it, sometimes off the leash, but always right on time and right in tune. He knows exactly how to entertain a crowd.
Vocals / Drums
Sonny co-founded the Austin rock band Sounds Under Radio and later drummed for SINE, and he works at 512 Studios, the same Austin room where Rik records. Here he is the engine room, holding the tempo that carries a dance floor through a Motown shuffle, a Prince groove and the downbeat on Enter Sandman in the same night. He sings behind both frontmen, so every chorus lands with three voices on it.

This Is Not Background Music
Rik and Bob walk in wearing race suits, and Sonny joins them when you book the band. They talk in Southern accents, crack jokes and put the music right in the middle of the party. The suits are a nod to Talladega Nights. We are not playing the movie’s characters. We just want your private party, wedding, corporate event or holiday party to be more fun than it has any right to be.
Three players. Live drums, bass and guitar, and three voices. Our Austin cover band is a party band built for the dance floor.
Hand your guests the mic. Our karaoke DJ service can download and play any song on the spot, so even the wildest pick gets its shot.
Rik and Bob run every offering in the race suits. Book the band and Sonny joins on drums. You get one contact, one load-in and one setup: the PA, stage lights and smoke. Pick one for your night. Pick your race.
