BACK IN BLACK - AC ⚡ DC Tribute with SURGE
BACK IN BLACK is the ultimate high-energy AC/DC tribute experience, proudly based in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex of Texas. For over 25 years, this powerhouse quintet has been faithfully reproducing the raw power, look, sound, and electrifying stage presence of AC/DC — delivering note-for-note, schtick-for-schtick concerts that capture the spirit of both the Bon Scott and Brian Johnson eras.
Fronted by Darren Caperna (whose vocals are so spot-on that AC/DC themselves auditioned him), the band features blistering lead guitar from Michael Mroz channeling Angus Young, along with tight rhythm section work from experienced DFW musicians. Back in Black doesn’t just play the hits — they recreate the full concert frenzy, complete with the energy, attitude, and showmanship that made AC/DC legends.
The band has headlined major venues and festivals across North America, including performances at the Calgary Saddledome and Edmonton Arena, a massive set for over 36,000 fans at the Bone Bash in Fort Worth, and repeated headlining slots at Jacks Throwback, the world’s largest tribute festival in Dallas. They’ve even been recruited by Sony Music to help promote AC/DC’s catalog.
Whether you’re craving “Highway to Hell,” “Back in Black,” “Thunderstruck,” or deep cuts from both eras, Back in Black brings the thunder every single night. If you want to experience AC/DC live — loud, proud, and unfiltered — this is as close as it gets.

SURGE is a high-octane, four-piece hard rock ‘n’ roll band hailing from Uvalde, Texas. Formed in 2021, the group delivers an edgy, modern-classic sound that fuses the raw power and swagger of classic rock with fresh, arena-ready energy. Often described as a blend of AC/DC and Greta Van Fleet, their music hits hard with gritty riffs, driving rhythms, and unforgettable hooks.
Fronted by the powerhouse vocals of Kat Jacksin, SURGE is renowned for explosive live performances that transform any venue into a sweat-drenched rock revival. With a Sunset Strip look and attitude to match, they’ve earned their reputation as Uvalde’s premier rock band, building a loyal following through relentless touring—from small-town stages to major festivals like Rocklahoma and iconic spots like the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood, where they’ve opened for legends including Lita Ford and Steven Pearcy.
Raw, energetic, and unapologetically gritty, SURGE lives by one rule: take the songs to the people and let the crowds decide. With singles and music videos like “Outta Control” and “Crazy Little Bitch” already turning heads, and a full-length album on the horizon, this Texas quartet is surging forward as one of the most exciting rising forces in hard rock.
