Gonzo-folk at its finest, Cravin’ Dogs creates a unique, vibrant blend of original, melodic roots-rock that has kept Dogheads howling for 35 years!
BIO
Cravin’ Dogs began as a “gonzo-folk” trio in 1986. Caldwell Gray, Lisa Venable Gray, and Tom Helf crafted 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 out October 2023.
Cravin’ Dogs is:
Arch Alcantara – Bass & Vocals
Todd Baker – Violin & Vocals
Caldwell Gray – Guitar, Keys & Vocals.
Tom Helf – Drums & Vocals
John Penovich – Guitar & Vocals
