cover bands
Musical mimicry ensembles
A cover band is a musical group that performs songs made famous by other artists rather than original material.
The term distinguishes them from tribute bands, which impersonate a specific act.
Cover bands typically play weddings, bars, and corporate events, offering familiar songs audiences can sing along to: We hired a cover band for the reunion.
