About Me



This is the home of Grub Dog and the Modestos, The Amazing Sweethearts and Grub Dog solo stuff. We've played shows with Whiskeytown, John Doe, Robbie Fulks, Slim Dunlap, Slobberbone, Mother Hips and many more.

We play Rock and Roll and I write some damn fine songs. A lot of them. A few of which you can buy right up there in the SNOCAP window. There are some live videos down there in the "Sounds Like" section.
