Pop and rock cover band · Ann Arbor, MI

Your great party needs a live band.

Hi, we’re
deermouse.

We’re a five-piece cover band in the Ann Arbor-Ypsilanti, MI area. We’d love to play at your party!

We play something
for everyone.

From the early days of rock and roll to today’s pop chart toppers. Motown to Madonna, Pixies to Paramore.

We’re easy to
work with.

From the first email to the last song, we make it simple to host a fun event with a live band.

deermouse formed in 2026 by five music nerds who love playing and performing. We’re named for the deer mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus), a Michigan native that sings, squeaks, shrieks and drums its front feet. We try to leave out the shrieking.

We fit your event

Ever been to a party where you couldn’t hear your friends over the band? Or wanted to dance, but the smooth jazz wasn’t doing it for you? Your guests are there to celebrate a birthday, recognize generous donors or reconnect at their 50th high school reunion. We know the difference. When the room wants to talk, you still get a live band, just quieter. When it wants to dance, we turn it up.

Events we play
  • Birthday and backyard parties
  • Reunions and retirement parties
  • Farmers’ markets and street fairs
  • Concert series and town celebrations
  • Company picnics and holiday parties
  • Block parties and neighborhood events
  • School and community fundraisers
