There’s certainly a difference between a tribute band, and a band that plays only the music of a specific artist. It’s not just the splitting of hairs.
Hair, however, is often part of the definition – a tribute act will comb, coif and be-wig itself to “look like” the artist in question, along with costumes, props and stage mannerisms. The idea being that if you squint (or take out your contacts) you’re actually in the room with the early Beatles, 1970s-era Fleetwood Mac, or ABBA, or Kiss or whoever else it may be.
