Animals is a five-piece Maroon 5 tribute based in Dallas, TX, fronted by David Gates — a multi-instrumentalist frontman with Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, and Michael Jackson influences who also looks like Adam Levine. Documented venue credits include the Omni PGA Frisco, Legacy Hall (Plano), and the Petroleum Club (Fort Worth).
Maroon 5 is one of the best-selling pop bands of the modern era: 135+ million records sold worldwide, three Grammy Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, and a catalog (“This Love,” “She Will Be Loved,” “Moves Like Jagger” with Christina Aguilera, “Sugar,” “Memories,” “Maps,” “Animals”) that has dominated pop radio for over 20 years. The 2019 Super Bowl LIII halftime show cemented Maroon 5’s status as a mainstream pop powerhouse.
Maroon 5 is still actively touring at major-headliner cost, with Las Vegas residency programming. Animals fits the same corporate, casino, PAC, and festival venues at a fraction of the cost, delivering the modern-pop catalog that millennial and Gen-Z audiences have grown up with.
Documented venue credentials:
Documented engagements at Omni PGA Frisco, Legacy Hall (Plano), Petroleum Club (Fort Worth), Thomas E. Tidman Amphitheater (MA), Nash Family Jackson (OH), and Civic Auditorium La Porte. The Dallas base puts Animals in TSE’s Texas cluster alongside Brewin & Turner, Tejano Queen Forever (DFW), SEDATED (Dallas-Memphis), and Even It Up.

Frontman David Gates is a multi-instrumentalist (vocals, keys, guitar, percussion) with Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, and Michael Jackson musical influences. He also resembles Adam Levine visually — a real differentiator for a Maroon 5 tribute. Jake Waid on guitar is a Dallas native and session veteran, anchoring the band’s instrumental core.
Documented venue credits include the Omni PGA Frisco, Legacy Hall (Plano), Petroleum Club (Fort Worth), Thomas E. Tidman Amphitheater (MA), Nash Family Jackson (OH), and Civic Auditorium La Porte.
