ABOUT

My Dads Mixtape, bring a fresh twist to THE SONGS YOU LOVE! 70’s – now!

A group of five seasoned and dedicated musicians, comitted to bringing the best sound and song selections catered to your event.

They are a party-starting covers band serving up pop, rock, funk, disco (and whatever gets the dancefloor moving) with a fresh, feel-good twist.

THE STORY

It all started on a blazing summer arvo. EK ducked into her dad’s garage during a family BBQ, just trying to find another box of beers… but instead, she found gold… A stack of old mixtapes and a dusty Walkman buried in a forgotten box. Classic Dad. Cue ADHD time warp… Next thing she knows, hours have passed, and she’s deep in the vibe of 90s pop, rock, funk, and all the feel-good bangers you forgot you loved.

One idea led to another (as they do), and boom! My Dads Mixtape was born. EK roped in her dad and a few of his muso mates, and now they’re taking that mixtape magic from the garage to the stage. It’s not just a covers band. It’s a full-blown nostalgia trip with killer hooks, big feels, and a setlist packed with songs you didn’t realise you knew every word to. Music that makes you dance, sing, and go, “Wait… I LOVE this song!”

  • Live music performance on stage at a party with a crowd of people dancing and singing. There are two banners with the text 'My Dad's Mixtape' and colorful stage lighting.

    Hey guys!! I just wanted to say a massive thank you again for performing last night - you are such an amazing band and we have had so much positive feedback about you! We have penciled in for next years ball! Thank you again ☺️
