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-PRESS
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.
Cravin’ Dogs is:
Arch Alcantara – Bass & Vocals
Todd Baker – Violin & Vocals
Caldwell Gray – Guitar, Piano & Vocals.
Tom Helf – Drums & Vocals
John Penovich – Guitar & Vocals
