About Reality Bites

Emerging from years as professional musicians across a diverse range of styles in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth music scene, Reality Bites has arrived with a single mission in mind: Play what we want and play it like nobody else. With over 30 years of collective experience as the formidable rhythm section for one of the area’s top variety bands, we have a developed a solid reputation for professionalism, finesse, and musicality in our roles. Each of us initially did our tour of duty at the renown University of North Texas School of Music before relocating to Dallas and working with some of the most well known artists in the business including: Andy Timmons; Annagrey; Cuvee; The Bill Tillman Band; Frontline; Groove Posse; Tom Braxton and No Compromise; Dallas Brass and Electric; The Jay Quinn Band; Roof Raisers; Signed, Sealed and Delivered; The Project and Random Axis Band. Across our various endeavors, we have performed at a number of the most popular events and venues including the Fort Worth Main Street Festival, The Denton Arts and Jazz Festival, Taste of Dallas, Taste of Addison, The Cattle Baron’s Ball, Margarita Society Ball and the Dallas Heart Ball. Despite a busy performance schedule, each of us is involved in music education in the D/FW area along with recording, scoring, and producing. Some of us do web design (including this site). Scratching your heads yet, wondering: “What DON’T they do?” Read on….

In April of 2006, we decided it was time to do our own thing, seeking to craft a cover band that is unique, edgy, and artistic; performing those tunes we know we all love, but might have slipped your mind in the last few years. But even more important, taking those tunes to new places with our own crafty signature. Our eclectic repertoire covers a wide range of 80’s pop classics on through the 90’s and today with songs by artists such as U2, The Cars, Elvis Costello, The Police, Simple Minds, The Cure, Tears for Fears, Coldplay, Peter Gabriel, R.E.M., The Killers, The Strokes and many, many more. What we don’t do is what everybody else does. Think of it as JACK-FM with real live people dancing about. Or MTV — back when they played videos. If you’ve had your fill of the same old regurgitated version of “Brick House” or the latest sugary, pop du jour flavor clouding the airwaves for barely the next minute or so, then you just might be ready for Reality Bites!!
