tribute band
Musical homage act
A tribute band is a musical group that performs the music of a famous artist or band, often replicating their sound, appearance, and stage presence as closely as possible.
Unlike cover bands that play songs from various artists, tribute bands typically dedicate themselves to one act: a Beatles tribute band, an ABBA tribute band.
The best ones draw audiences who want to experience something close to the original live performance.
