Feed the Dog is an eclectic and action-packed, experimental jam-grass act. The midwest based 4-piece masterfully blends soul-pleasing songwriting rich in imagery and storytelling with a genre bending, shake-your-hips, instrumental flair. Their high energy performances are driven by the unique and progressive approach of each player: imaginative melodies with graceful ambiance skillfully crafted on the violin, tireless beats both dynamic and soulful confidently assembled on the drums, driving low end with finesse and intention forged on the bass guitar, and unique approach to playing the acoustic guitar blending fast picking bluegrass runs with the strength of blues and rock to evoke an emotional contrast between melancholy and hopeful.

**************************
Tapers notes: I first saw Feed the Dog last summer at a music festival, and really enjoyed their sound, so when I saw them pop up with Buffalo Galaxy at one of my favorite venues, I jumped on it. The recording here is so-so, this was supposed to be a SBD/AUD mix, and the SBD portion didn't work out. Anticipating this being a mixed recording, I set my mics up in a position to get the best combination of crowd reaction and music, so it's not optimized for a strict AUD recording. This started a run of like 3 or 4 shows that the SBD portion of my recording didn't work for one reason or another, very frustrating. But, it's still a listenable recording, and Feed the Dog's setlist is ridiculously good.
