GARTH FANS UNITE
“Garth fans don’t hand out compliments lightly — you know every word. The standing ovations are great, but what sticks with us are the stories after the show: your first concert, what ‘The Dance’ meant at your wedding, the song that got you through a hard year. That’s why we do this.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is The Garth Guy?
Dean Simmons is The Garth Guy — the longest-running Garth Brooks tribute artist in the world, with more than 5,000 live performances. Based in Las Vegas, he is the longtime resident Garth at Legends in Concert in Las Vegas, still on their roster, and was featured nationally on AXS TV’s World’s Greatest Tribute Bands.
Is the show performed live?
Yes — 100% live. Dean sings every note on stage, every night, backed by a real live band. No lip-syncing and no pre-recorded lead vocal. That’s part of why the show is still going after 5,000+ performances: it’s a real concert, with real moments, not a playback.
What does it cost to book a Garth Brooks tribute show?
The fee depends on the date, location, band size, and production needs — a casino showroom headline set, a corporate event, and a festival main stage are all scoped differently. Send your date and venue through the booking form and you’ll get a real quote, usually within one business day. A 50% deposit holds your date, with the balance due on the day of the event, before the performance.
What kinds of events do you play?
Corporate events, casinos, theaters and performing arts centers, fairs, festivals, and rodeos — plus private events with a country crowd. If your audience knows the words to “Friends in Low Places,” this show was built for them.
How long is the show?
The headline show runs about 90 minutes of Garth’s biggest hits — “Friends in Low Places,” “The Thunder Rolls,” “The Dance,” “Callin’ Baton Rouge,” “Ain’t Goin’ Down (’Til the Sun Comes Up),” and more. Shorter sets and multi-set formats are available for corporate and casino lounge schedules — tell us your format and we’ll build to it.
Do you travel outside Las Vegas?
Yes — The Garth Guy performs nationwide and has played all 50 states and 5 continents. Las Vegas-based means fly dates are routine: travel, lodging, and production are scoped into your quote up front, so there are no surprises later.
What band sizes are available?
The show scales from a 5-piece to a full 8-piece band, fronted by Dean with elite Las Vegas touring musicians. The right size depends on your room and budget — a leaner fly-date configuration for smaller stages, the full band for the complete arena experience.
Can we add a second act to the bill?
Yes. Dean can be paired with his wife Kim Simmons’ Shania Twain tribute — one stage, two country icons — for a full night of country hits. Ask about it when you request your quote.
How do we check a date?
Use the booking form on this page with your event date and venue. Dates are held once a deposit is in, and every inquiry gets a reply within one business day.
