In the tricked-out garage of a big white house on a hill beneath the Blue Ridge near Asheville, N.C., music was made. Mutt music, to be precise. Mutt music happens when two Pennsylvania boys and a fella from North Carolina get together, combining the shared influences of rock ‘n roll, reggae, Jazz, and bluegrass while remaining true to their working class roots and country-lovin’ sentiments. Grass-roots rockgrass. Rock-roots grassgrass. Corn liquor meets craft beer with a Hot Toddy chaser. Since forming in 2009, the band–Dan on guitar/vocals, Seth on mandolin/vocals and Dusty on percussion–has toured hard, putting in over 35,000 miles in 2012 alone. They are known for their raucous sound, gentlemanly manners and the good-natured foot-stompin’ and tail-waggin’ that comes naturally to every friendly mutt you know. You can find them touring all over the Eastern seaboard with regular stops in PA, VA, and NC. Wherever they are, it’s sure to be a circus, and you are surely welcome.
