3 Chord Rodeo is an Austin dance band with deep roots in classic country music from the '60s through the '90s and beyond! The band members are all veterans of the Austin, Nashville and California music scenes. We playregularly at dance halls all over Texas includingThe Broken Spoke, Twin Sisters, Anhalt and Luckenbach. We also stay busy performing at weddings, private parties and corporate events, and boast a long list of glowing reviews. Our band has the flexibility to offer a 3-, 4- or 5-piece band, depending on the situation and budget. With an upbeat playlist and a dynamic stage presence, 3 Chord Rodeo delivers a good time EVERY time!  

The band was created in 2010 by friends and native Austinites Bobby Dabbs on guitar and Greg Scarborough on bass and lead vocals. California native Lauren Ellis (pedal steel, lead guitar and vocals) soon joined the lineup after moving to Austin from Nashville, where she toured with Rita Coolidge, Rosie Flores, Rick Trevino and former Monkee Peter Tork. Some of the very best drummers in Texas including Dave Sanger of Asleep at the Wheel and Mo Roberts of the Marcia Ball Band keep the party going and the dancefloor full!
