Bossydog Halloween

Overview

Bossydog's vision is to prove that a band does not have to be loud to be good. Our group collectively has thousands of performances under their belts. Our Bass player played with Chicago's own Shadows of Night. Our drummer was with the popular Roy Orbison tribute band, Roy and the Orbitz.

If you are looking for good time music than we are your band! With a wide variety of Classic and Country Favorites we know how to work with the crowd to help them have a great time. Once you've seen us you'll be coming back for more. Just remember the main ingredient for any party is.....Bossydog!

Huge Hit!

I hired Bossydog to play at our annual Labor Day party and could not have been more pleased. Bob was very responsive to communications in the weeks leading up to the event. He and his band mates were very flexible in working within the physical space restrictions of our location (uneven ground, etc). Our crowd loved them, and I don't think a single person left the party for the three hours they were on stage. Lots of people dancing and singing, and I can say with confidence that absolutely everyone enjoyed themselves. I received nothing but compliments on Bossydog's performance for the rest of the weekend. I would not hesitate to hire Bossydog for any future events that I have and to recommend them to friends and family.

Great Professional Band

I hired Bossy Dog on Saturday, November 24, 2012. They were great, we had people of all ages. Bossy Dog had songs that my parents loved, My dad said they rocked LA BAMBA. The birthday boy, my husband loved Black Sabbath songs. My husband jammed with them. I work for the States Attorney Office, so it was thier professionalism that impressed me.They send me a contract with prompt replys. I was nervous and their professionalism put me at ease. I would recommend them to anyone.

About

Bossydog is the Midwest's premier party band consisting of four seasoned musicians who have thousands of performances under their collective belt. Our goal is to keep the fans up and moving to songs from the 50's do-wop favorites to rock and disco. Some artists we cover include: The Beatles, Elvis, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dwight Yoakum, Willie Nelson, Brookes & Dunn to name a few. Our audiences are dancing and tapping their toes the whole night long.

Bossydog is a group of musicians who believe that a band does not have to be LOUD to be good. Our combination of well mixed 4-part harmonies and music bring the songs to life.
