About Us
El Loco Fandango is an Arvada, Colorado-based ZZ Top tribute formed in 2021 by Don, Mike, and Tim Elliott. Their show is built around songs from ZZ Top’s 50-year catalog, with close attention to the band’s sound, look, and matching instruments.
El Loco Fandango is a ZZ Top tribute from Arvada, Colorado, built by Don, Mike, and Tim Elliott. The group came together after Don and Mike kept hearing hey it’s ZZ Top when they were out at bars and local shows, and Tim stepped in to complete the trio.
After forming in 2021, they spent several months building a set from ZZ Top’s 50-year catalog. The focus is on the details that matter in a tribute show, with attention to both the look and the sound.
Don, Mike, and Tim worked carefully on guitar tones and overall sound to reflect both ZZ Top’s live performances and the recorded versions of their biggest hits. On the visual side, the band puts real effort into wardrobe, Western wear, beard care, bling, and matching instruments to support the full presentation.
For buyers looking for a clearly defined tribute act, El Loco Fandango offers a ZZ Top-focused show built around recognizable songs, band-specific styling, and a presentation shaped around the details fans expect.

“All I can say is, It doesn’t get better than this! The look, the sound, the talent. There is not another ZZ Top tribute band that can hold a candle to Don & Mike. Get them on your Stage you won’t be disappointed! And to top it off they are some of the best guys I know.”

This is a TOP SHELF band. I've seen these guys 3+ times and they always bring a high energy show that's never the same. It's great to see a tribute to ZZ Top like these guys do. Definitely one of the best & one of a kind! Take your 'Legs' & go 'Nationwide' with your 'Cheap Sunglasses' folks.... Definitely a must see group‼️💯

This is just about the best tribute I have seen yet! The first time I saw them play I was not a ZZ Top fan at all. This band changed that all for me. The way they replicate the music, look, and stage presence was awe inspiring to me!! Maybe I am a ZZ Top fan after all! :-)

Top notch tribute to ZZ Top! I had the privilege of seeing them in their debut and have seen them several times since. They just keep getting better. Mike and Don also make their own instruments and amps, so you know they are serious. I've seen several of Tim's bands throughout the last 6 years and they are all excellent well rehearsed tributes.

This band RIPS!! Always enjoyed listening to ZZ Top, but hearing and seeing El Loco Fandango perform live a few times really made me appreciate the music even more. Plus Tim, Don and Mike are great human beings. AWESOME!!

I’ve seen ZZ Top and I’ve seen El Loco Fandango and they are as close as it gets to the real thing!!! The look, the sound, the musicianship…. Absolutely astounding and SO DAMN MUCH FUN!!!!!! If you have a chance to see these guys play, do not miss it!!! I just wish they’d come to San Diego because we’ve got multiple venues here that love tribute bands, like Moonlight Amphitheater and the Magnolia theater. ❤️❤️

Who puts the: " tribute" in tribute band you ask...... El Loco Fandango that's who. Mike, Tim and Don put on a great set of ZZTop tribute songs and impresive looks and perfomances for a great music experience for anyone who likes ZZTOP. Go check out "that little old band from Texas" El Loco Fandango at a venue near you. You won't be disapointed 🎶🎶

El Loco Fandango is amazing! They are spot on performing ZZTop music. All three band members are extremely personable too and this is very apparent in their on/off stage socialization. One of our most favorite tribute bands!
