CRANVIN' DOGS AND THE ALLMAN OTHERS BAND
CRAVIN' DOGS
Cravin’ Dogs began as a “gonzo-folk” trio in 1986, crafting a sparse brand of rock & roll that used acoustic guitar, drums, and harmony-driven vocals to create a unique blend of folk, classic rock, ’80s new wave, and bluegrass. Cravin’ Dogs has since evolved into an all-original, eclectic, roots-rock quintet that has played over 1000 shows, and released ten full-length albums, one EP, and two compilation retrospectives. The band is currently recording new material for its 11th full-length album, Invisible Fence, due in 2024.

THE ALLMAN OTHERS BAND
It might seem surprising that this boy from the great white north would be drawn to the deep southern, swampy blues of the Allman Brothers. Vocalist Doug Hartnett’s love for the band dates back to 1970’s shows at Met Stadium in Bloomington, MN. Years later, after singing Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Joe Cocker, Leon Russell, Van Morrison and others in clubs throughout the DC area with the Oxymorons, he’s ready to dive into the deep, dark waters of the Allman Brothers’ brand of blues.
Dave Reuben was captivated by the power of the first five notes he’d heard on the Allman Brothers’ version of Statesboro Blues, and he’s been hooked ever since. He saw his first ABB show at Madison Square Garden and remembers the power the band had. He says that first experience was surreal because when the Allman Brothers are dialed in, it’s like a force of nature.
