The Garth Guy — Garth Brooks Tribute Artist
If you’re looking for a Garth Brooks tribute artist who doesn’t just sing the songs but recreates the concert, you’ve found him. Dean Simmons is The Garth Guy — the longest-running Garth Brooks tribute in the world, with more than 5,000 performances across all 50 states and 5 continents.
Dean is the longtime resident Garth at Legends in Concert in Las Vegas, still on their roster, and his show was featured nationally on AXS TV’s World’s Greatest Tribute Bands. Garth Brooks himself passed along the words every tribute artist hopes to hear: “Tell Dean Simmons I said thanks for carrying the torch.”
A tribute built like the real show
This is a full concert, not an impersonator set. Dean fronts a powerhouse band of elite Las Vegas touring musicians and delivers the voice, the walk, the laugh, and the arena energy — the singalongs, the stories, and the moments that made Garth’s live shows legendary. The set runs through the catalog your audience came for: “Friends in Low Places,” “The Thunder Rolls,” “The Dance,” “Rodeo,” “Unanswered Prayers,” “Callin’ Baton Rouge,” “Two Piña Coladas,” “Shameless,” and “Ain’t Goin’ Down (‘Til the Sun Comes Up).”
The show scales from a 5-piece to a full 8-piece band, so it fits a theater stage, a casino showroom, or a festival main stage — and fly dates are routine.

How to choose a Garth Brooks tribute
Not all Garth tributes are built the same. Before you book, ask four questions: How long has the artist actually been doing this, full-time? Have they carried a headline show in a major room — not just a lounge set? Can they scale the band and production to your stage? And is the lead vocal actually sung live, every night? Dean’s answers are on this page: the longest-running Garth tribute in the world, 5,000+ shows, a Las Vegas headline residency, national TV, and a 100% live vocal — no lip-syncing, no pre-recorded lead.
