Blackdog captures the essence of what rock and roll was before being over-processed, canned, and shelved, while bringing something refreshingly new to audiences. Their music and performances are raw, spontaneous, exhilarating, passionate, playful, sexual, joyful, and always damn good.
Heavily influenced by the Delta blues of the 20’s and 30’s, the Chicago Blues of the 50’s, and the Rock n’ Roll heroes of the late 60’s, Blackdog's youthful energy delivers a strong mix of spirituality and sexuality that electrifies audiences, giving fans the opportunity to sit back awe-struck, or get on the dance floor to completely lose themselves. Their raw talent and explosive stage presence gives them the reputation of creating “mind-blowing adventures of passion and joy”. With exceptional originals and resurrected covers by Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Dire Straits, Ray Charles, Fleetwood Mac, Chuck Berry, and many more—Blackdog’s ambitious repertoire is something few can pull off so brilliantly, putting on 4 hour shows that are extraordinary front to back.
There is a difference between emulation and actualization. Blackdog is real, original rock n' roll.

It was a pleasure to both meet and with you as well. I had a great time at US Beer Co.
