Old Dog Music is a song-writing project started by Ollie Davidson. Writing music since the age of 16, Ollie has finally come into his own, mixing his beautifully crafted songs with soul-stirring vocals to create a sound that is unique yet familiar.
With a love for non-for-profits causes, Ollie Davidson co-formed his own NPO, Compassionista Productions, whose mission is to help raise awareness for other worthy causes and social issues by organizing benefits in the art and music community to help gain funds and exposure for these organizations. So far in 2005, Old Dog Music has arranged or performed for benefits in Spain, San Francisco, Chicago and Madison to help the victims of the Tsunami, the Sudanese refugees, and the Gulf Coast hurricane victims. Currently Ollie is working on his most ambitious project of late, a compilation of mostly Chicago musicians to benefit the victims of the Hurricanes. The CD will be released in mid-November.
Peter Andreadis plays drums in the project. This versatile musician also plays drums in Chicago's up and coming musical sensation, Baby Teeth. Peter fronts his own project called All City Affairs, as well as appearing in the power rock trio Russian.
Ruby Harris, the Chicago music legend whose work has netted him gigs opening for Ray Charles, stints with Bob Dylan and Tom Petty and a performance for President Clinton, plays violin.
Adam Frick is a sound engineer and piano virtuoso, whose unique talents help bridge this group of eclectic musicians.

Hello old friend - dreaming of Chicago in springtime and hoping you are well. And where the heck is my Janik Cafe t-shirt and the gift you never mailed?! Love and miss you immensely.
it'd be awesome if you made it out to this. it's my first public <group> show. there will be art shown for sale and for looking along with music! how can you go wrong?
This is the first 'blast' announcement we're sending in, well, its actually the first ever.
The reason we're sending it is we want to update the four songs on the page by keeping the most favorite one up and replacing the other three with three different cuts from our new 14 song TimePieces cd.
So, let us know which song you like the most from the 4 TimePieces songs currently on our profile, and check back in a week or so so that you can hear three more cuts from that cd.
Hope you can make it! Bring friends! I need 30 to show to cover Billy's expenses. He's great! You can talk shop! Really respected musician/producer out of Austin, TX.
