5 thoughts on “Tribute acts are more prevalent than ever on the concert calendar

    1. It is not considered a tribute act if original members are still in the band.

    2. I think Megan may have missed your “tongue-in-cheek” intent. Personally, I thought it was hilarious.

  1. Having lived in many larger cities, I have observed tribute acts to be a phenomenon of smaller cities like Indy that the original acts have passed on. They’re rarely seen in the larger cities other than playing in bars.
