Testimonials
Identity Theft was so easy to work with from the start. They were very friendly and great at listening to what we wanted. We could not have asked for a better band to play at our wedding (which happened to be in Fayetteville, AR). Our reception was such a blast and the music was outstanding! They kept the energy up and the party going the entire time and made our wedding so much fun!

Identity Theft Band was amazing! They not only made the reception a blast, but they played the first dance songs to a ‘T’! Jared worked with my father to do a fabulous mash up for our first dance and it was such a hit! The band was such a blast and every member is extremely talented! We loved them and wish we could go back to our reception to dance to their music again! All of our friends said our wedding reception was the most fun of any wedding they had attended! That’s saying a lot

Jared and the band did a Mashup for the Father Daughter dance at my daughter’s wedding in Austin. Fantastic job. Good transitions that allowed the wannabe dancers to keep up! I strongly recommend Identity Theft. People are still talking about the reception.

When we started planning our wedding, we realized early on the three things that were most important to us about the celebration: lots of dancing, plenty of drinking, and to be able to invite all our friends and family. Identity Theft made all of these things possible! We knew we needed a band that would bring a serious party, but because we wanted a big event with all of our nearest and dearest including both of our gigantic families, we would not be able to afford some of the very high-priced bands out there (NONE of which were even close to as good as IDT, by the way!). We knew the moment we checked out IDT’s website that they were the best we’d seen or heard by far. We rushed to their event calendar and crossed our fingers that they’d still have our date open. Thankfully they did, and we could not have been happier!! What a sigh of relief we breathed once we had our dream band booked for our dream day! IDT was an incredible bargain for the amazing quality they delivered, and because of that we were able to increase our guest list to include everyone we wanted, which was so important to us. IDT truly WAS the party! And even though they obviously have great partying skills
, they were also extremely organized and professional. Jared did a phenomenal job as master of ceremonies, which provided us with much-needed peace of mind during our reception so we were able to enjoy ourselves. They were receptive to my few requests and made a point to play them, but more importantly—IDT did a fabulous job of reading the crowd. It seemed like as each song started as the evening wore on, the cheers only got louder and louder. The dance floor stayed packed throughout the evening, and we both heard “This band is incredible!” countless times from our guests the whole night. Over a month later those comments have still not stopped. We, along with our families and friends, recommend Identity Theft at every chance we get. Choosing IDT was the best wedding planning decision we made!! Thanks so much, Identity Theft, for making our celebration so unforgettable

A little over a year ago, my daughter became engaged, and we found ourselves planning our first wedding. We knew that we wanted a live band for the reception, but we were nervous about choosing the right band. My daughter found out about Identity Theft through some internet research, and after meeting with Jared, we decided that this was the band we’d go with. We were so very glad we did. Jared is professional, organized and helpful in the planning process. In fact, he was great to work with through the entire process. More importantly, the band is phenomenal! When they opened their first dinner set with “At Last,” I am not kidding when I say that I heard a low din of commotion from some of our guests as they exclaimed how amazing the band sounded. The band started out with a bang and the energy just grew and grew. They read the audience well, and knew how to keep the dance floor packed. I can’t tell you how many people came up to us throughout and after the evening and complimented the band. Each member of Identity Theft is extremely talented, and their repertoire is vast. Identity Theft played a huge role in the success of my daughter’s wedding reception. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.

Identity Theft is an amazing group! During wedding planning, Jared was the definition of professional, coordinating the details and song list with my fiancé. During the reception, I had a wardrobe malfunction and they played dinner music for at least an hour, never running out of soft, romantic music. Identity Theft was very accommodating with special requests throughout the evening. They learned how to play “our” song and it sounded amazing. Everyone that attended the reception spoke highly of the band. Y’all were a key element and the perfect accompaniment to the most perfect day!
Mr. and Mrs. Keith – IDT Couple
We got married on 11.5.11 in Austin, TX and had the most fun wedding reception ever! Speaking as a bride who has been in 19 weddings, and attended countless others – Identity Theft and was absolutely the best! They got everybody excited and on the dance floor. They watched the mood of the crowd and seemed to know the perfect songs to play at every turn. We loved the way our reception felt from start to finish. Our guests were talking about the band for many weeks after the event. I think one of the direct quotes via text the next day from a friend was – “You know you were at a badass wedding when the band can play a little Neil Diamond followed by Nicki Manaj and sound spot-on for it all! Awesome.” We cannot thank them enough for making our event so great!

I am a full believer that the music can make or break the party. With this in mind I was super picky when it came to booking a band for the wedding. In fact, you could say I built my whole wedding around this premise because Identity Theft was actually the very first vendor I booked for the wedding. BEST. DECISION. EVER. Seriously, these guys (and ladies) are AWESOME! I knew right away in my initial dealings with Jared that they were young, hip and cool (exactly what we wanted in a cover band – my worst nightmare would have been to have old cheesy guys trying to pull off singing Lady Gaga!) and WOW can they perform! Our dance floor was PACKED all night long. After their last song the guests chanted “one more song, one more song”! It was SO much fun and I don’t remember dancing so much since I was in college (more than a few years ago)! Everyone kept asking where we found them and I can honestly say that I think a year from now they could probably get away with charging 3-5 times as much. They are THAT GOOD. Cee-Lo-Green to Lady Gaga to Katy Perry to Stevie Wonder to U2, they rock it all out.
Andy and Robin S. – IDT Couple
Identity Theft went above our expectations! They put on a great public show and their wedding performance was AMAZING! All we heard about after we got back from out honeymoon was how awesome the band was and how much fun they had. It was the BEST reception they have been to. Some people wanted to book them for just regular weekend parties. Our wedding was on a Sunday night and Identity Theft had us partying like it was a Saturday night. Big props to Identity Theft! I would recommend them to everybody. Heck, I’ll get married again just to have them play at the wedding again. Great job!
Katy and Vince Smith – IDT Couple
Jared was very professional and eased my mind about booking their band for my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding. There were many song requests and Identity Theft performed every one of them. The kids said that the band had a very good song selection and they were very pleased with their choices. I had heard many “nightmare” stories about dealing with bands, and Identity Theft proved them all wrong. I felt like the money I spent was very fair and well worth the performance we received.

Valerie L. – IDT Bride (Thanks Val!)
When my daughter became engaged, her and her soon-to-be husband asked for two things above all things at her wedding reception. A GREAT band, and LOTS of adult beverages. After looking at over 12 bands, she then asked my wife and I to see her favorite 3 bands, and soon thereafter, a contract was signed with Jared. First Class Operation all the way! All ages at the wedding loved the band. Dinner music was perfect, and the dancing music was even better. My daughter, her husband, my wife, my entire family, and everyone else absolutely LOVED this band. HATS OFF to Jared, and ALL THE BAND MEMBERS! I still get compliments on a regular basis from friends of mine that were at the wedding, and say “who was that band”, they were great!
Keith Aholt – Father of the Bride
Best wedding band ever! I don’t think our guests sat down, they were dancing so much!
Nick and Caroline – IDT Couple
Aaron and I got married in June of 2011. We currently live in New Zealand but were coming home for our Texas wedding. My good friend Molly, recommended Identity Theft (who had played at her wedding). Not being able to go and listen to bands as a normal couple living in Dallas would be able to do, we took Molly’s recommendation and ran with it. On the night of the wedding, we were so so so happy with our decision to go with Identity Theft. We had one meeting prior where I told them, “We just want one BIG party and we need you to help us!” And that is what they did…even ending the night with the whole wedding chanting for an encore (which they did!) Amazing band. Amazing wedding. Amazing memories. We couldn’t have asked or wanted anything better. Thanks Identity Theft!!!

“IDENTITY THEFT ROCKS!!! Our elegant gala was perfectly punctuated by their fantastic renditions of our favorite songs. Their energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and their spot-on performance made our dance floor overflow!”
Laura Roach – President, Altrusa International Inc. of DFW
“Working with Jared and the Identity Theft Band was incredible – not only are they amazingly talented musicians, but they are all so professional and personable. They surpassed my expectations and are definitely on the top of my list for bands that I refer to my clients! I’ve never seen so many guests on the dance floor as I did when Identity Theft played at a recent wedding – I’m pretty sure there weren’t any guests left in their seats. Identity Theft brings a wonderful energy to an event and creates an ambiance that your guests are sure not to forget!”
Kelly Simants - Sweet Pea Events
“I’m totally giving credit to Identity Theft Band for making our 20th High School Reunion an off the charts success. I listened to countless classmates worry that a band would not sound ‘exactly like’ various bands and artists. That we should hire a DJ. Bahaha!!! Wow did IDT prove them wrong! They were off the charts. Smoke machines, a disco ball, perfectly played songs dropped to groovy beats and a dance floor full of almost (not quite) 40 year olds reliving their youth via Journey with a dash of Black Eyed Peas; that’s an awesome party. They played everything, we danced and sang along to everything. We had some crazy fun and I give all credit for said funness to the band that started and ended the party. At 12:30 when the (4 hour) set was over, we wanted more!!”
MaryAnn Standley
We could of not asked for a better time at our wedding. Y’all were great! I’ve had so many compliments from friends and family that attended on how great y’all sounded. Thanks so much for making our reception perfect!!

“I awoke Saturday morning, the first day of Spring, to snowfall and a fear that Identity Theft the Band would not be able to make the trek from Big-D to Norman to help me and all my wonderful friends and family ring in my 30th birthday! THANK GOD this group will risk life and limb to help people have …a great time regardless of the road conditions.
I would like to say a very, very, very special thank you to all of you guys for making this one of the greatest nights of my life! It would not have been the same experience without your amazing musical talents but more importantly your fantastic interaction with all of the guests. You have no idea how many people came to me the next morning to let me know how amazing you all were!
From the bottom of my heart I thank you all! You made this day one for the ages! Ummmm hopefully I didn’t ruin any equipment in the process?! Keep on rockin!”
Matt Spencer – IDT Birthday Boy
“Identity Theft provided the crowd at our recent event with an upbeat array of music that encouraged listeners to not only sing along but dance! They were fabulous to work with and not only would we book them again for future events, we had several people request their information to book at their own upcoming events. Identity Theft is edgy, talented, and professional. I wouldn’t think twice about hiring them again, they’re a shoe-in!”
Jennifer – USMP Agency
“Thank-you for a tremendous performance and show at our annual year-end company awards celebration. All of the Lucas Group associates had a fabulous time. I don’t recall so many people dancing and clapping at any of our previous company functions. We have a wide range of people to please, but your song list and energy provided the perfect finale for our formal recognition dinner.
I highly recommend Identity Theft for any business or special event. Their Lead singer, Ashley Austin, is a talented vocalist who knows how to command a room. The band members are real pros. If you are looking for a dynamic and electric band to light up your party, Identity Theft is the group to call.”
Andrea T. Jennings - President and CEO, Lucas Group
“I know a lot of people knock Identity Theft because their careers are basically centered around copying other bands and getting drunk people to dance, but I know deep down in my heart, that Identity Theft is about the children. And probably world peace too.”
Jared Thompson – Guitars/Identity Theft
“My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for five years with no luck. One of our friends told us about Identity Theft, so we went to their show and immediately were impregnated by the rock. We have never been happier!”

“We booked Identity Theft for one of our corporate shows last year, immediately after they finished their fourth set our stocks went up 33%, setting a new market record, they completely turned our business around! We have had record profits ever since. Thanks Identity Theft!”
Bob Turkle / Turkle Tables Inc.
You guys did an AWESOME job last night. You made our special day and night to remember. Amarillo loves you! Hope to see you back up here soon!
David Cleavinger – Father of the Bride
“Nick and Tenli have told us that their wedding was absolutely perfect and just what they had wanted. Your band was such an integral part and you exceeded all of our expectations. The dance floor was full and as you know the guests loved the music and the proof was when they requested an encore! Our guests were not ready to leave even though it was a Sunday night. As I said before, you are all amazing musicians. We all thank you for doing a wonderful job in creating priceless memories for Tenli and Nick.”
Pam Freitus – Mother of the Bride
The band was fantastic! They had great vocals, wonderful energy, and a really diverse song selection. They made our reception so much fun, all of our guests were talking about them the next day. My husband and I could not have been more pleased with their professionalism and performance.
Andrew and Michelle Gay – IDT Couple
Identity Theft worked with us to get the perfect song list. Thanks in part to them; our guests had a great time at the wedding. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone sang along to the songs. They are the perfect band for a wedding group that likes to dance. On a side note, several of our friends said they were sore from dancing the next day!
