With over 30 years of collective experience as the formidable rhythm section for one of the area’s top variety bands, Reality Bites have developed a solid reputation for professionalism, finesse, and musicality in their roles. Each of them initially did their 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. They have performed at a number of 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 the members is involved in music education in the DFW area, along with recording, scoring, and producing. Some of the band members do web design.
