The Love Dogs | The Funktones

Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM

The Love Dogs' Recipe for The Blues:

Take one red-hot horn section - we're talkin' alto, tenor, baritone saxes - down and dirty. Add liberal amounts of barrelhouse boogie-woogie piano and some stinging Fender guitar. Pour over a funky and swinging rhythm section that Blues Review magazine called "the best in the business", and top it all off with a crazy and charismatic front man with one of the biggest blues voices around. Season with years on the road tearing up juke joints, festivals and concert halls across the U.S. and Canada and on both sides of the Atlantic. Sound tasty? It's a recipe for music and mayhem, for intensity and irreverence; it's THE LOVE DOGS.

Based out of Boston, this hard-charging septet just celebrated its 30th anniversary wowing audiences and critics alike with their combination of great musicianship and pure fun. Their new release, GET OFF MY LAWN! Is their first collection of all new material in a few years and it’s a beauty. The Dogs combine elements of Jump Blues, New Orleans R&B and early rock 'n' roll into their own powerhouse sound, and it’s all on full display on this 12 song set.

The Funktones is a tribute band — to those mid-century musical geniuses who brought a spring in our step, a smile to our face, and occasionally a tear to our eye. They approach the music with a high regard for rhythmic integrity and soulful expression. They perform the works of Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Bill Withers, Billy Preston, and the Isleys, to name a few.
