The Downtown Collective Band was established in 2016 as just a couple of guys who wanted to jam out in the attic. We started by getting some small gigs here and there doing hybrid DJ/live music performances. Then we found friends from music school at UNL that played instruments and made the jam bigger and got more gigs. Now we are known as one of the top bands in the Midwest. We love playing live music because you get a much more authentic experience with people actually playing instruments and connecting with the crowd! All of our past clients agree- Downtown Collective is a high energy group that gets everyone dancing!

“The Downtown Collective was absolutely outstanding and exceeded our expectations in every way. Their communication was excellent and professional from start to finish. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - the energy was amazing, their vocals were outstanding, and they were a true class act. Our guests raved about them all night long. Behind the scenes, they were communicative and great to work with. This band nailed it, and the energy was insane. If you're thinking of booking them, do it now - you'll be so thankful you did. Thank you, Downtown Collective, for helping us throw an amazing celebration!”
