This Minnesota cover band loves seeing The Dog House in Maplewood come up on our schedule. Once you’ve been in a band for many years, you come to appreciate solid music venues, built for that purpose. The Dog House has a fantastic sound system and Rick the house sound engineer is one of the best in the business to work with.
The night started with a packed house, and reservable tables filled. This is a venue that also does a great job of promotion for their bands. Dancers hit the floor from the first song, while singer Beth prowled the extra-large stage.
A quick stage-left exit to the floor allows those of us who can move about, the chance to join the dancers out on the floor. Mark walked out there with the keytar during Hot To Go and drew a lot of smiles selfies with the revelers. The simple 4 note lick on the keytar makes it possible to swing wildly about and make it look easy (sorry Mark!)
We stopped promptly at 11:30 for the great DJ show that follows us, put on by Hmong Tinduh.
Whenever you can, make a point to check out The Dog House, it’s a great live music venue!
