OUR STORY
Formed in the local cover band music scene of North Dallas in 2020, Backstage Pass emerged from a shared vision to create authentic, powerful rock cover music that makes its audience feel like teenagers again! What started as late-night jam sessions in Arnie's garage has evolved into a force that commands stages across DFW.
Our chemistry has become our strength - Todd's commanding vocals, Dean's innovative guitar work, Jerry's thunderous bass, and Arnie's explosive drumming created a sound that was both familiar and revolutionary. We've spent over 5 years perfecting our sound, and performing hundreds of shows across North Dallas.
From intimate club venues to local festival stages, we've never lost sight of our core mission: to create music that moves people, and leaves audiences wanting more. Every song, every performance, every moment is crafted with the raw passion that defines Backstage Pass Rock!
