Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs
Laney Lou and the Bird Dogs have been forging a fresh
and energetic sound to the northwest music scene. Their live show is highlighted
by unbridled energy, and punctuated by songs
performed with fervor and swagger. Fusing old time folk songs with a rock ‘n’
roll attitude, the Bird Dogs push the envelope of what a string band is
generally described as. They’ve been hitting the road hard since 2014, sharing
stages with Corb Lund, Hayes Carll, hurray for the riff raff, the mavericks,
Wynonna Judd, mark Chesnutt, the lil’ smokies and many more. The bird dogs
released their first album in the spring of 2016. Recorded live at basecamp
studio, the album is one that reflects their live show and makes you want to
stomp your feet and crack open a beer.
Born under the big sky in Bozeman, Montana, Laney
Lou and the Bird Dogs consist of Matt Demarais on banjo/vocals, Ethan Demarais
on bass, Lena Schiffer on vocals/guitar, Brian Kassay on fiddle/mandolin, and
newly added member josh Moore on vocals/guitar.
