We are Ask Your Mom – a band of dads that has been together since 2005. Despite outward appearances, we know how to rock a room. Whether it is a sweaty bar or a wedding under a tent or a giant outdoor festival, we get people to dance.

UPCOMING SHOWS: 

  • 4/20 – North Star – Pound Ridge, NY
  • 6/24 – Private Event – Greenwich, CT
  • 9/7 or 9/28 (TBD) – North Star – Pound Ridge, NY
Ask Your Mom at North Star Thursday April 20, 2023
Return of the Gig 5/13/2021

We play covers other bands usually don’t. Yes, we play American Girl by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers but we also play Even the Losers and Makin’ Some Noise. We like to think of our genre as “classic alternative” – not classic rock like the radio and not “alternative” like black eyeliner but a nice combination of the two. Sort of like your cool cousin in high school ahead of you and whatever he listened to.
