About Us
|
Barrel Dawg are storytellers, a bit rootsie, a tad swampy, somewhat mountain style gritty blues with a hint of dark country… whatever the case, together, they are born entertainers and their objective is to ensure everyone is having a rip snorting good time!
Leading Barrel Dawg are husband and wife team B-Dawg & Mongrel Dawg (AKA Mella and Dave) available as a duo. Alternatively, when they hit larger venues they can pull in their loyal 'stray dawgs' to create a trio or full band. B' Dawg (Aka Mella) has a passion for unique instruments like Cigar Box Guitars, Banjo and Resonator Guitar. She is inspired by the raw soul exhibited by bluesmen such as Son House and Robert Johnson infused with her own improvisation to create unique folky blues & roots music with the simplicity of old blues storytelling. She also uses a combination of finger picking and slide methods with a little distortion to deliver some big, dirty, swampy blues sound! This concept creates a musical journey for the listener. Mongrel keeps the engine revving with big bold Bass whilst B' Dawg plays, sings and stomps! Mongrel understands the principles of good blues basslines and provides some solid rhythm, he is as dependable as the lifeguards at Bondi! Barrel Dawg is primarily a built around husband and wife team with the addition of some powerful support musicians referred to as the Strays who join in to suit the different shows! The trio includes Muttley, and he bangs and hits stuff to create awsome foot stomping tones and howls ut some fantastic harmonies. A full band includes drummer and other instrumentalists depending on need. |
