"Country-rock, avant-garde blues, prog-funk, experimental rock - any and all of these labels are accurate, yet each only begins to brush the surface of the band's style... daringly different." (All Music Guide)
At once steeped in American tradition and yet thoroughly forward-looking - kind of like a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon hurtling through a wormhole, or a steel cage match at the local VFW hall on the moons of Saturn - Dreadnaught has bended and busted rule after rule with its music since forming, and each album has always proved a galactic leap from the one that preceded. From the sunny groove-rock of DREADNAUGHT (1998) and the rustic, experimental UNA VEZ MAS (2000) to the earthshakingly progressive opus THE AMERICAN STANDARD (2001, Red Fez Records), the avant-garde tour-de-force MUSICA EN FLAGRANTE (2004, Big Balloon Music), and the colossal double-disc LIVE AT MOJO (2005, Comet Records/Horizons), the band reveals an obsession with "pushing the proverbial envelope right down the shredder" (Progressive World).
Dreadnaught is the house band for the Music Hall series "Writers On A New England Stage," where they've performed with Pulitzer Prize winner John Updike, Emmy winner Alan Alda, best-selling authors Dan Brown, Mitch Albom, Elmore Leonard, and esteemed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, among others. The group has also shared a stage with John Entwistle (The Who), Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson), NRBQ, California Guitar Trio, Thanks to Gravity, and Jim Weider (The Band).
HIGH HEAT & CHIN MUSIC, the band's new double-disc, was released May 1, 2007 by Big Balloon Music / Red Fez Records to glowing reviews and an award for 'Best Decade Of Music' from NH Magazine in July 2007. "All three members tear into their instruments with an improvisational deftness that can be achieved only through a combination of natural talent and relentless performance." (The Wire)
