Fake Dad at The Driskill Bar & Grill

Mar 13, 2025

10:30pm – 11:00pm CT

The Driskill Bar & Grill

Andrea de Varona and Josh Ford aka Fake Dad are a Los Angeles-based, NYC-bred indie rock meets dream pop duo. Formed in 2020, the two met at a college party in the East Village and have been inseparable ever since. Melting their own unique artistic visions to build a shared sonic shorthand, Fake Dad create an intoxicating and colorful musical fusion complete with catchy pop-laden hooks, crunchy, 90s-inspired guitars, grooving bass lines, and buoyant synths. With a distinctive production sound and a signature vocal delivery, the two write and record expansive musical moments from their apartment. Although Andrea and Josh come from different musical backgrounds, they share a common goal: to create music that understands you.
